WASHINGTON (AP) - Military aircraft are scheduled to fly over the nation’s capital region early Tuesday.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) says the exercise will include an F-16 fighter, a C-21 transport plane and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter.
The Washington Post reports the flights are scheduled Tuesday from midnight until about 2:30 a.m.
If the weather is bad, the drill will be moved to Wednesday morning.
Officials say such exercises have been conducted periodically since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
