NORAD will be conducting air drills tonight and tomorrow over the County.
NORAD exercise planned for Washington D.C.
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – The North American Aerospace Defense Command and its geographical component, the Continental United States NORAD Region (CONR), will conduct Exercise Falcon Virgo 07-10 Monday and Tuesday in the National Capital Region (Washington, D.C.).
This exercise comprises a series of training flights held in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Capital Region Command Center, the Joint Air Defense Operations Center, Civil Air Patrol, and NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector.
Exercise Falcon Virgo 07-10 is designed to test NORAD's intercept and identification operations, as well as procedural tests of the NCR Visual Warning System. Civil Air Patrol aircraft, Air Force F-16s and C-38s, and Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin helicopters, will participate in the exercise.
Residents in the area can expect flights to occur throughout the day, including late night and early morning hours, on scheduled exercise dates.
In the event of inclement weather, the exercise will push to the next day. Further weather delays will result in cancellation of the exercise.

Thats awesome...does anyone know where exactly these planes will be flying? I think it would be pretty cool to see some F-16s flying around.

Please post an address of your apartment building. I am sure some people (Gravis) would like to hang around out front.
