Airmen with the 158th Fighter Wing, Vermont Air National Guard, pose for a photograph in front of Vermont ANG’s F-35 Lightning II aircraft Sept. 25, 2025, on the flightline at Burlington Air National Guard Base, Burlington, Vermont. Members of the VaANG partnered with the 158th Fighter Wing, VTANG, to train on F-35 operations, enhancing cross-airframe, multi-capable Airman skills and fifth-generation interoperability. This joint training ensures Airmen can maintain both F-22 Raptor and F-35 aircraft, boosting operational readiness and strengthening collaboration with NATO partners.
