The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will conduct training flights over the Washington, D.C., area next week in preparation for responding to “unknown and potentially threatening aircraft.”
NORAD, an aerospace defense collaboration between the United States and Canada, announced in a press release that it will fly calibration flights over the southeastern Washington, D.C., area on Monday and Tuesday next week.
The flights “will be performed by a civilian Beechcraft King Air aircraft flying patterns at approximately 3,000 feet above ground level,” according to a NORAD release.
