The Russians are at it as well. President Obama visited Canada a couple of weeks ago and at least one (maybe several) Russian bombers approached Canadian airspace, unannounced, just before the President was scheduled to arrive. Some CF-18's intercepted the Russian bomber(s) and escorted them until they were well on their way back home.
The Russians used to do this all the time during the cold war but they just resumed these flights recently. There was no indication that this latest episode was timed to coincide with the President's visit or it was just a coincidence. I'm not a big believer in coincidences.
