The Department of the Air Force has decided to replace older fighter jets at three bases with new models as part of an environmental review. The decision includes replacing 18 F-15C jets with up to 21 F-35A jets at the 104th Fighter Wing in Massachusetts, and replacing 18 F-15C/D jets with up to 21 F-15EX jets at the 144th Fighter Wing in California and the 159th Fighter Wing in Louisiana. This plan follows an Environmental Impact Statement and takes into account public and agency feedback. The details were made public in the Federal Register in November 2024.
