In Northwest Florida, the roar of military aircraft zooming overhead is widely greeted as the sound of freedom.
Through Thursday, that sound will be augmented by the rumbling of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets from the Vermont Air National Guard giving the residents of Burlington, Vermont, some apparently welcome freedom from that sound. Quiet week ahead as F-35s head to Florida for training, was the headline chosen for an online story on the temporary absence of the Air National Guard fighter jets from Burlington on WCAX-TV, the city s CBS affiliate.
Airmen, aircraft and support equipment from the Vermont Air National Guard s 158th Fighter Wing left the Burlington Air National Guard Base at Burlington International Airport on Jan. 14 for a two-week exercise at Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City.
