Training exercise in Lethbridge this week

LETHBRIDGE — You may notice an increased military presence in Lethbridge this week.

Royal Canadian Air Force Search and Rescue based at Winnipeg is in the area Oct. 3-7 for its annual CHINTHEX training exercise. Training flights will mostly start and end at the Lethbridge Airport, and those flights will be closely coordinated with air traffic control there.

You may also see the flights in neighbouring towns and along the Alberta-BC border. And there will be an increased military presence within Lethbridge.

Actual exercise areas will be closed to the public.
