As the training schedule may change following this post, we encourage you to monitor the website and Facebook for updates. Please be aware that some changes may not be posted until the same day.
Aircraft supporting training or support to other agencies from the Marine Corps Air Facility at Quantico can also generate noise. The frequency and number of aircraft supporting training can occasionally generate higher volumes of noise. Additionally, atmospheric conditions can amplify aircraft noise volume and the distance sound travels.
