SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. – The Vermont Air National Guard will conduct night flying operations from Tuesday, September 10, to Thursday, September 12, and from Tuesday, September 17 to Wednesday, September 18 with daytime and nighttime take off periods. Flights are scheduled to conclude by 9:30 p.m.
“Training in diverse conditions is vital for our pilots,” said U.S. Air Force Colonel Brian Lepine, 158th Fighter Wing Deputy Commander. “Night flying enhances our readiness and adaptability, ensuring that our team remains capable and effective in all operational environments.”
Night flying is a required and integral part of comprehensive pilot training. It ensures that personnel can operate effectively regardless of time of day or weather conditions, which is crucial for real-world scenarios.
“We appreciate the community’s understanding and support as we conduct this vital training,” Lepine said. “These night training exercises contribute significantly to maintaining our high operational standards and ensuring mission success.”
