Fighter jet training expected to bring noise to Gouverneur, Fowler, Cranberry Lake

Posted

St. Lawrence County residents near Gouverneur and Cranberry Lake may hear fighter jets as training is underway in the area.

Beginning today and continuing through Saturday, Sept. 10, there will be higher than normal levels of training noise coming from Range 48 in the vicinity of Antwerp, Fowler, Gouverneur, Lowville, Tupper Lake, and Cranberry Lake.

The anticipated noise should not be a cause for alarm.

Fort Drum Range 48 and the surrounding Military Operating Airspace will be used by fighter aircraft from the Air Force's 107th Fighter Squadron from Selfridge, Michigan and the 158th Fighter Wing from Burlington, Vermont for training during the afternoon and evening hours. The training is in preparation for future missions.

Anyone with noise concerns during this time should call the New York State Airspace Hotline at 1-800-228-3567.
