    About Us

    The Vermont Wing offers exciting opportunities to individuals of all ages. We are headquartered in South Burlington with squadrons in Springfield, Rutland, Bennington, Montpelier, and South Burlington. Some squadrons have only senior members (ages 18 +), while others are composite with cadet members (ages 12 - 21) along with senior members who train and mentor cadets.

    • We supported Vermont Air National Guard providing airborne communications relays and targets for the jet pilots to train in intercepting low- and slow-flying aircraft.
    • Conducted four searches for overdue airplanes, coordinating aircraft and ground crews.
    • Participated in a large search and rescue and communications training exercise with the Vermont State Police Ground Team.
    • Provided aerospace and STEM education in state technology education centers, elementary, middle and high school campuses.
    • Our cadets benefited from powered and glider orientation flights. They participated in Wreaths Across America observations to honor the nation’s fallen patriots, and provided color party at parades, Lake Monster games, and more.
