Gov. Scott Walker and senior Wisconsin Air National Guard leaders, along with members of Together Truax, announced that the U.S. Air Force selected Truax Field Air Base in Madison, Wis., as a preferred location for one of the next two Air National Guard F-35A bases. The Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 115th Fighter Wing, based at Truax Field, learned it was one of five candidates being considered for the F-35A last year. The final basing decision will be made following the completion of an environmental analysis. The 5th-generation fighter jet could arrive at Truax Field in early 2023.
