In mid-April, there seemed to be a lot of jet flyovers here in Cook County. WTIP reached out to the Duluth-based 148th Fighter Wing. We learned that there was some joint training taking place that week. The 114th Fighter Wing, South Dakota Air National Guard joined the 148th for some training. 
 
WTIP's Rhonda Silence reached out to the airbase and spoke with Public Affairs Officer Audra Flanagan to learn more about the 148th.
