<p>“Romanian Air Force aircraft will conduct training flights at low altitudes, as well as supersonic flights with F-16 Fighting Falcon jets, across the entire country from March 4 to March 10, 2025, while taking all necessary air safety measures and minimizing the noise impact on the civilian population,” reads the <a href="https://www.roaf.ro/?p=31461" rel="noopener" target="_blank">announcement</a>.</p>
