The overnight flights will allow the student pilots to better prepare for the challenges of night flying, according to officials. These trainings will also benefit other pilots and maintainers as they “prepare for all hours of the day and night,” the 149th Fighter Wing said.

Residents who live near JBSA-Lackland will be the most likely to hear the nighttime flights.
