Joseph Bower, 192nd AMXS crew chief, with the Virginia Air National Guard pose for a photograph in front of Vermont ANG’s F-35 Lightning II aircraft 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.
