The Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing will be spending much of the fall in New Hampshire, sharing facilities with ANG’s 157th Air Refueling Wing at Pease Air National Guard Station. The Air Guard is having runway repairs done at the Burlington (Vt.) Airport. The Associated Press news service reports that the Green Mountain boys will fly training missions out of Pease.
Fresh off the first combat deployment of its new EA-37B, the Air Force is nearly doubling the planned number of new electronic attack jets and projecting more than $3 billion in spending on the program in the next five years.
