NORAD flight exercise set for Washington,  D.C.
    
    The North American Aerospace Defense Command  (NORAD) will conduct a 
three-day exercise, Falcon Virgo 10-06,  beginning today and ending Thursday 
in the skies over the National Capital  Region, Washington, DC.
    There will be two flights per night today and  Wednesday, with the 
first flight scheduled to take place between midnight until  2am, EDT, and the 
second between 4-6am, EDT. There will be one flight on  Thursday, which is 
scheduled between midnight and 2am, EDT.
    In the event of inclement  weather, the exercise will take place the 
following day.
    People can expect to hear and  see NORAD fighter aircraft, Civil Air 
Patrol aircraft, and Coast Guard  helicopters as they participate in these 
exercises.
    The exercise has  been carefully planned and will be closely controlled 
to ensure NORAD's rapid  response capability. NORAD has conducted exercise 
flights of this nature  throughout the US and Canada since the start of 
Operation Noble Eagle, the  command's response to the terrorist attacks that 
occurred on Sept 11, 2001.
