Fighter jet night flights over NRW: noise wave expected until December!

The night hell over North Rhine-Westphalia! From now on and until December 15, 2024, loud Eurofighter will fly through the night and put all the scareed -out residents on alert. Anyone who lives in the Rhineland will experience the roar of the fighter jets up close in the evenings, because the air force location in Nörvenich, known for its intensive flights, becomes even more often becoming the setting for military exercises.

These nightly flight maneuvers belong to the program of the tactical air force squadron 31 "Boelcke" from Nörvenich. For weeks, the Eurofighter are in use from Monday to Friday. Specific times for the nightly missions remain in the dark, but according to guidelines, the aircraft can fly between 7 a.m. and midnight! A member of the squadron, Lieutenant Maximilian Kraft, emphasizes that these nightly missions are crucial to train and maintain the skills of the pilots - a reason for concern for many residents!

The regions around Cologne, the Rhein-Erft district and Düren are particularly affected. The exact routes of the Eurofighter are variable and are determined at short notice, but the loud roar will be omnipresent in these areas. The Bundeswehr has a good excuse for the noise: "normal exercise and training flights". But for many residents, the exercise company becomes too much of a good thing. During the last campaign, the nights were already shaped by riot and noises, and now, with the upcoming night flights, another chapter of acoustic stress in the Rhineland threatens

The excitement about the unmistakable noises of the Eurofighter will certainly not be deceptive in the coming weeks. So if you are looking for night's sleep during this intensive practice, you should better have earplugs!
