HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Hill Air Force Base will conduct F-35 night flying exercises on most weekdays through May 21.
The Air Force said that both the active duty 388th and reserve 419th fighter wings will be out most weekdays and that F-35 night flying might be heard between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
The Air Force said pilots engage in these types of practices in order to maintain their readiness to fly at a moment's notice in any conditions.
"Hill's fighter wings must train at night to maintain their combat readiness and all-weather capabilities. Night flying is limited to what is required for pilots to remain proficient in those skills," a 388th Wing spokesman said in a statement.
