When the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in Vermont in April 2020, it forced Burlington and Winooski residents to self-isolate. And some who began working from home within the flight path of the F-35s became acquainted with a new experience.
“During the beginning of lockdown and the stay-at-home order was my first experience with them. They literally woke me up from a sound sleep, it was so incredibly loud,” said Winooski resident Suzanne Blain.
She said she doesn’t remember hearing the jets before that moment — likely because they flew over her house while she was at work.
