A noise warning has been issued for those living near an airbase on the Suffolk and Norfolk border ahead of pilots carrying out night-time flying exercises.
RAF Lakenheath has warned of noise disruption in the surrounding area starting from Monday to Wednesday.
Officials at the base have said activity will be between 7pm and 10pm and overland flying will be limited as much as possible.
A spokesman for the base said: "The 48th Fighter Wing must train like we fight in order to maintain operational readiness, and night flying is a critical muscle we must continue to flex.
"We understand the disturbance this may cause to our local communities, and appreciate the patience and understanding as we ensure our Airmen remain trained and ready to secure the sovereign skies anytime, day or night.”
The exercises does not include plans for low-altitude flying over Suffolk or surrounding areas.
