I'm planning a trip to Buffalo and would like to fly over Niagara Falls.  I have read the Niagara Falls special flight rules (93.71) which, among other requirements, indicate a racetrack pattern which is mostly over Canadian land.  If I takeoff in the USA, overfly but don't land in Canada, and return to land in the USA, are there any special requirements or permission required  by Canada or the US ? I have read on the AOPA Q&A that no special permissions are required to simply overfly Canada, but what are the applicable US and Canadian regulation that support this?  (Just trying to educate myself on the regs.) Thank you.
