WASHINGTON — The Air Force is planning a one-day flight exercise in the Washington area.
Aircraft will perform a series of training flights starting early Thursday. The North American Aerospace Defense Command and other agencies are coordinating the flights.
Civil Air Patrol aircraft and Coast Guard helicopters will take part.
Officials say the exercise, called Falcon Virgo, refines the command’s interception and identification operations. It also helps with testing visual warning systems.
Similar exercise flights have been held throughout the country.
