NORAD Plans Training Flights Over D.C.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. military is planning some training flights over Washington and Frederick County, Md., to test the region's air defenses.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command says the flights over the Washington area will take place between midnight and 2 a.m. Wednesday.
