CONR to Conduct Air Defense Exercise in National Capital Region

             The Continental United States North American Aerospace 
Defense Command Region (CONR) will conduct Falcon Virgo exercise flight 
operations Saturday, Dec. 15 in the National Capital Region (NCR), 
Washington, D.C.

             This series of training flights are held in coordination 
with the Federal Aviation Administration, the NCR Coordination Center, 
the Joint Air Defense Operations Center (JADOC), the Potomac 
Consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility, Civil Air Patrol, 
and CONR's Eastern Air Defense Sector.

             Flights in the NCR are scheduled to take place between 7:20 
a.m. and 8:10 a.m. EST.

             These training flights are designed to hone NORAD's 
intercept and identification operations as well as operationally test 
the NCR Visual Warning System. Several U.S. Air Force aircraft will 
participate in these flights.

             In the event of inclement weather, the exercise will take 
place the following morning. If bad weather continues, officials will 
then make a decision to postpone or cancel the mission.

             For more information on Falcon Virgo exercises, please 
contact CONR Public Affairs at 850-283-8080, or the NORAD Public Affairs 
Office at 719-554-6889.
