Barnes Air National Guard Base

Bit by bit, a fleet of new, state-of-the-art fighter aircraft is coming to a Air National Guard base in Western Massachusetts.F-35As are already soaring fast and loud through the Pioneer Valley. As commanders tell WAMC, their arrival means better protection for the Northeast – and security for the base’s future.

A new main gate at a Massachusetts airbase will do more than just welcome personnel – it’s also a key step toward welcoming new F-35s to the premises.

Work is underway at a regional airport in western Massachusetts - part of a plan to boost safety and prepare for new military aircraft.

The modern aircraft will replace the 40-year-old fleet of F-15s by 2026
