The head of the Vermont National Guard plans to address what he calls inaccuracies about a plan to base new F-35 fighter jets at Burlington International Airport.
Michael Dubie will hold a news conference Thursday.
The Burlington Free Press reports that an Air Force study found that the sound of F-35s taking off from the airport would be substantially louder than the F-16s the Air Guard now flies.
Dubie and the Vermont National Guard haven’t said much about the proposal.
Dubie, meanwhile, is readying a move to Colorado to be deputy commander of the United States Northern Command.
