The 58th and 60th Fighter Squadrons began the training earlier this month, with missions scheduled over a three-week period.
During the final week of operations, flights are scheduled between 8:45 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.
Eglin Air Force Base said night flying is a required part of training to ensure aircrews are prepared for real-world missions.
Residents in surrounding communities may notice increased jet activity —known locally as the Sound of Freedom—during the evening hours as the training continues.
