Vermont Guard will do night flights with F-35s

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. — The Vermont Air National Guard will conduct night flight operations from Tuesday, Nov. 5 through Friday, Nov. 22.

Area residents may see and hear F-35A aircraft taking off and landing from Burlington International Airport during this time. All training operations are scheduled to be completed before 8 p.m.

“We must learn how to employ the tactical advantages gained from the F-35 during both day and night operations,” Lt. Col. Anthony Marek, 134th Fighter Squadron commander, said in a press release.

The 158th Fighter Wing uses the fall and winter months for night operations training when hours of darkness are at their earliest.
