Raptors begin night flying

  • Published

Residents may experience aircraft noise Oct. 7-11, Oct. 15-18, and possibly Oct. 21-23, when the 43rd Fighter Squadron F-22s conduct night flying operations in the area.

Each day, approximately 14 F-22 fighter aircraft will take-off between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. and will end flying at approximately 10:30 p.m.  If winds are favorable, efforts will be made to use Runway 12/30 to minimize noise in the community.

Night flying is a required part of the 43rd FS training operations. For more information, please contact the Team Eglin public affairs office at 882-3931.
