“Those living in and around the Dayton, Delaware and Middletown, Ohio areas may hear and/or see fighter jets in close proximity to a Civil Air Patrol aircraft, which will be taking on the role of a Track of Interest (TOI),” the 88th Air Base Wing posted on Facebook. “A TOI is an aircraft that has been identified as a potential threat.”
The exercise works on coordination between the Eastern Air Defense Sector, Federal Aviation Administration and 180th Fighter Wing.
“These types of exercises are conducted on a routine basis as part of North American Aerospace Defense Command’s Operation Noble Eagle, which was initiated after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,” the post read.
