New Orleans -- Following residents' reports of military aircraft flying over the city, a spokesman with Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base New Orleans acknowledges that the Navy held training exercises here on Friday.
A news release from NAS JRB New Orleans reads, "A Navy C-130 aircraft accompanied by Navy F-18 Hornets made flights today, Sept. 30, over the City of New Orleans. These were routine training flights, conducted in a 'low and slow' pattern in full compliance and clearance with the FAA. These flights have concluded."
FOX 8 viewers phoned and posted notes on Facebook on Tuesday and Friday, saying they'd spotted several jet fighters -- anywhere from 6 to 10, depending on the source -- flying in formation with a larger aircraft, roughly the size of a small airliner.
We are still awaiting confirmation that Tuesday's sightings were related to military training.
