Canada in Iraq: September RCAF Airstrikes Against ISIS

It was a busier start to September for the RCAF CF-18's in Iraq than August was.  The six CF-18's were deployed on twenty airstrike sorties in Iraq. Despite an increase in coalition strikes in Syria; and France and Australia expanding into Syria - the RCAF did not conduct any airstrikes in Syria.
