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.
As the Air National Guard moves forward with its plans to replace aging C-130Hs with new C-130Js, it has decided where it wants to base its formal training unit for the new aircraft—Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.
