Boise residents may do a double take later this week when they start seeing Air Force jets flying around town but don't worry. It's just training.
Air Force jets with the 389th Fighter Squadron will be in the skies over Boise from Wednesday through Friday.
The pilots are doing close-air support over Boise between 12:30 to 3 p.m. and 5:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 14; 12:30 to 3 p.m. Nov. 15; and 1:30 to 4 p.m. Nov. 16.
The jets will be flying at altitudes between 20,000 to 22,000 feet within a 10 nautical-mile radius of the Capitol Building, officials said Tuesday.
Residents should expect some extra noise from the planes during that time.
Air Force officials said Tuesday morning that the exercises are part of a normal training routine for pilots but did not provide information on what that training was for.
