It may be a little noisier than usual in areas along the Crystal Coast this week because of a military training exercise planned for Bogue Field.
The towns of Emerald Isle and Pine Knoll Shores are telling people to expect an influx of daytime and late-night military jet noise. An F-35 squadron is utilizing the auxiliary field to practice simulated aircraft carrier and amphibious ship landings.
Because of the specialized nature of the training, the fifth-generation Stealth Fighters will make multiple low-altitude passes through the area, with night operations scheduled to run as late as midnight.
Those with pets sensitive to loud noises are advised to keep them secure indoors.
