The exercises, held between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., are designed to build pilot skills for nighttime operations. On the first day, multiple takeoffs and landings were carried out between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Training will also take place on September 30, initially set as a backup date, to allow more pilots to participate. Saga Base said it will work to minimize noise and environmental impact on nearby residents, agriculture, and fisheries. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=16145303&amp;ymd=2025-09-29\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fnn_saga-ospray-training_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Osprey Begins Night Flight Training In Saga\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-173335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fnn_saga-ospray-training_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fnn_saga-ospray-training_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fnn_saga-ospray-training_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fnn_saga-ospray-training_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
