The Ohio Air National Guard’s 180th Fighter Wing is scheduled to conduct nighttime training flights Monday, Jan. 26, through Thursday, Jan. 29, weather permitting. Area residents may see or hear F-16 fighter jets, including the use of flares, taking off and landing until about 8 p.m.

Training flights normally take place during daylight hours, but F-16 pilots and maintenance personnel are required to conduct night operations as part of their overall readiness training.
