After three decades of service, the last of the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s F-16 fighter jets took off from Truax Field Wednesday for the last time as the 115th Fighter Wing prepares for its next mission.

Pilots from other units around the country will fly F-16s out of Madison in support of the Guard’s homeland defense mission while the unit gets ready to fly F-35 fighter jets, said Capt. Leslie Westmont.

Truax Field is undergoing roughly $120 million worth of construction to accommodate the 20 new jets, which are scheduled to begin arriving in early 2023.
