MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Air National Guard units based in Wisconsin and Alabama have been awarded squadrons of F-35 fighter jets. The U.S. Air Force announced the award on Wednesday, overcoming vocal opposition from people who live near the base in Madison. The jets will be placed with the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field in Madison and with the 187th Fighter Wing at Dannelly Field in Montgomery, Alabama. The first jets are expected to arrive in late 2023. The Air Force said the jets will replace older F-16 aircraft and will allow the Air Force to meet other requirements for readiness and training.
