The birds are hangered at Langley and aren't always airborne. YVR airspace is incredibly busy and structured, depending on the active runway and time of day landing aircraft are stacked up for miles sequenced as far out as Chilliwack or further. Even if Air1 was airborne getting it to the airport, air traffic diverted for an emergency, and finding the fleeing vehicle with no ground unit following to provide updates..... it was never going to happen.
Given the recent surge in activity though I wouldn't be surprised to see it loitering consistently.
