GRAYLING and surrounding counties –
RANGE ACTIVITY:
- There will be occasional Aerial gunnery and transition flights in the Range 40 impact area.
Scheduled range activity is minor which will continue through the holidays. Range activity will pick up after the New Year as exercise Winter Strike kicks into high gear mid-January. Believe it or not, Christmas is less than a few weeks away. While the holiday season brings family and friends together, it serves as a time to remember our military families and troops overseas.
