The Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing will be spending much of the fall in New Hampshire, sharing facilities with ANG’s 157th Air Refueling Wing at Pease Air National Guard Station. The Air Guard is having runway repairs done at the Burlington (Vt.) Airport. The Associated Press news service reports that the Green Mountain boys will fly training missions out of Pease.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
