SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Air National Guard is expected to take delivery of the final F-35 fighter plane, the 20th that will be based at the Burlington International Airport, the guard said Monday.
The plane is scheduled to arrive Wednesday but the time has not yet been determined.
The Vermont air guard is the first Air National Guard unit in the country to receive the F-35.
The new aircraft replace the F-16s the Vermont guard used to fly. The first F-35 arrived in September of last year after years of planning.
Some complain the F-35s are significantly louder than the F-16s.
