148th Fighter Wing to conduct night flying exercises over UP

DULUTH, MN— Residents from northern Minnesota to the U.P. could hear jet fighters flying overhead this week.

The Minnesota National Guard 148th Fighter Wing will conduct night flying through Thursday. Officials say it’s required for pilot proficiency to train for future missions.

Residents near the Duluth International Airport, in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula may hear F-16s taking off, flying, and landing during the late afternoon and evening this week.

All F-16s are expected to be on the ground by 10 p.m.
