HARRISON TOWNSHIP, MI - Aircraft from Selfridge Air National Guard Base will fly over the Detroit area and other spots in Michigan Tuesday.

The military flights will soar over the Detroit River, capitol region in Lansing, and the Mackinac Bridge Tuesday morning and afternoon, officials from the base said.

During that time, people might "see or hear two or three different types of military aircraft" in the area.

The aircraft will be flying at lower altitudes than typical, according to the base, but will still be "well within Federal Aviation Administration safety standards."

Selfridge Air National Guard Base, one of the oldest military air fields in continuous service, has operated since July 1, 1917.

The base also houses units from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection.
