Every night next week, jets from Langley's 1st Fighter Wing will be flying high over the Peninsula for training.

The F-22A Raptors will take to the sky from 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. from June 18-21.

Langley officials say the missions are needed so pilots to complete required training and maintain proficiency levels with certain tasks, such as Night Vision Goggle flying.
