In addition to the F-16E / F and Mirage-2000 combat aircraft of the United Arab Emirates Air Force , this base also temporarily housed the so-called “Camp Mirage” of the Canadian armed forces , which were deployed in Afghanistan . In autumn 2010, Canadians were banned from further sharing by the UAE government due to disputes regarding the landing rights of their Emirates and Etihad airlines at Canadian airports, which have been using the US Spangdahlem Air Base in the Eifel since then .
