Noise from Buckley Air Force Base will be louder than normal in the coming days.
In a statement this afternoon, the Colorado Air National Guard said crews at the base will be increasing their activity tomorrow as part of an “Operational Readiness Inspection.”
The 24-hour training will include simulated operations in a combat environment, which the Guard said will mean an increase in activity and noise level over the next few days. That includes frequent alarms and increased flying operations.
This inspection is one of several by the Air Combat Command of the United States Air Force, which will verify and validate that the 140th Wing is fully capable of deploying overseas, the statement said.
“We ask for the public’s patience and understanding during this period,” Brig. Gen. Trulan A. Eyre, commander of the 140th Wing, said in the statement
The Guard inspections comes in the middle of another inspection for the Air Force’s 460th Space Wing, which operates Buckley. That inspection is scheduled to end May 22.
