Fighter jets to train over parts of ND, Minn.
Military officials say fighter jets will fly practice missions in skies over Minnesota and North Dakota.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command says the exercises will be conducted Wednesday afternoon from Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn., to Fargo, N.D.
People may hear and see fighters near civilian aircraft as the military pilots practice interception and identification procedures.
The command is composed of U.S. and Canadian aircraft and personnel. It says it has conducted similar training missions throughout the United States and Canada since the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.
