Anniversary of F35 announcement in 2017
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Air National Guard units based in Wisconsin and Alabama have been awarded squadrons of F-35 fighter jets, the U.S. Air Force announced Wednesday, overcoming vocal opposition from people who live near the base in Wisconsin's capital city.
The jets will be placed with the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field in Madison and with the 187th Fighter Wing at Dannelly Field in Montgomery, Alabama. The first jets are expected to arrive in late 2023.
(The first two jets have, in fact, arrived in Montgomery)
And BTW, my Dad trained at Wisconsin's Truax Field during WWII, before serving as an airborne radio operator during the war.
