South Burlington – Crowds packed the Vermont Air National Guard’s annual open house on Sept. 11.
Free and open to the public, the event showcased various military displays, demonstrations, performances as well as a job fair at the South Burlington base.
A U.S. Air Force flight simulator and Beta Technologies’ electric aircraft Alia-250 were popular draws on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Adults and children jostled for close views of F-35s, a CAP glider, a Blackhawk, a Humvee, machine guns and enjoyed an inflatable obstacle course, a climbing wall and face painting.
Events included a working dog demo, a ‘Jaws of Life’ extraction, Army band concerts and a 9/11 remembrance ceremony.
