Increased air activity near Luke AFB scheduled

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Luke Air Force Base officials say the public will see and hear increased air activity in early December at the Glendale base and a training area in southwestern Arizona between Yuma and Tucson.

Luke officials said the base will host an exercise involving members of Singapore's armed forces from Dec. 1 to Dec. 13.

Officials said the Forging Sabre exercise will involve night and weekend flying operations at Luke and the Barry M. Goldwater Range complex.

Activity associated with the exercise will include movements of military vehicles on State Route 85 as military personnel position themselves within the range.
