NORAD training in skies over Northern Virginia


North American Aerospace Defense Command will be training over the area early Tuesday morning.

The exercise, beginning after midnight, will include Civil Air Patrol aircraft and a U.S. Coast Guard Dolphin helicopter. The exercise is expected to continue through 2 a.m.

NORAD has been conducting these training flights in the United States and Canada as part of Operation Noble Eagle since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Since then, there have been more than 5,000 potential air threats in the U.S.
Officials may postpone or cancel training in inclement weather.
