On September 19, 2019 the first two of twenty F-35As were delivered to the Vermont ANG 134th FS/ 158th FW "The Green Mountain. With the arrival of these aircraft, 17-5265 "VT'/"158 FW' (c/n AF-207) and 17-5266 "VT' (c/n AF-208), the Vermont ANG became the first ANG to receive the F-35A and the second operational wing in the USAF. In December 2019 three more F-35As arrived at Burlington. Originally formed as the 158th FG (Air Defense) and allotted to the Vermont ANG in 1956 the 158th eventually became the 158th FW in late 1995. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
