8 fighter jets added to growing security

Eight F-16s will patrol the skies over Boston during the Democratic National Convention, military officials said yesterday, as police and military personnel took positions in unprecedented security precautions in the city.
Boston residents can expect to hear and see military aircraft overhead starting today, as part of what the North American Aerospace Defense Command described as "a series of exercise training flights."
F-16 fighter jets will probably continue patrolling Monday and throughout next week's four-day convention, state officials said. The flights will operate 24 hours a day and are under the direction of the US Secret Service, one of the state officials said.
