Navy Pilots to Make Late-Night Maneuvers

Navy jets will be screeching through the skies near Miramar Naval Air Station as late as 1:30 a.m. for the next month, the service has announced.

Pilots will be training for carrier landings on a newly reopened runway and need extensive night flight practice, the Navy said in a statement that apologized for “any inconvenience this noise may cause our neighbors.”

Miramar, one of the Navy’s principal West Coast air bases, is home to 14 F-14 Tomcat fighter plane squadrons and five E-2 Hawkeye squadrons. The E-2 serves as an air traffic controller in the sky.
