Fighter jets will be in the nighttime skies this month over Aurora and other parts of the metro area as the 140th Wing, Colorado Air National Guard conducts training.
The night training will last through Nov. 17 and aircraft will be landing at as late as 10 p.m., according to a CONG news release.
“Implementing our flying mission sets at night is critical to maintaining our readiness and effectiveness in support of our nation’s defense,” U.S. Air Force Col. Christopher Southard, commander, 140th Wing, said in the release. “We understand that the increase in noise can be disruptive to our local communities. We appreciate the continued support and seek to have minimal impact by flying during the winter months when hours of darkness begin earlier in the evening.”
