SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.-The Vermont Air National Guard will provide security and emergency response in the Northeast as a result of the Air Force's decision to ground all of its F-15 fighter jets. The F-15s will be inspected following an investigation into a Missouri Air National Guard plane crash Nov. 2 that found defects in the aircraft's fuselage. The Vermont Air Guard, which flies F-16s, will continue the mission after the inspections while the F-15s are moved from Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod to a base in Western Massachusetts. The transition could take longer than a year. The Air Guard's mission is expected to have little impact on Burlington International Airport, said Brian Searles, airport director.
