F-35s Can Take Flight Again

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON -

The U.S. Department of Defense says the grounded F-35 fighter jets can take flight once again.

Officials say after finding a cracked engine blade.

The fighter jets have been thoroughly inspected and are cleared for take off.

Officials are still deciding on where to place the F-35 fighter jets. A preliminary report on the environmental impact of the F-35 in Vermont says the plane would have a greater noise presence than the F-16s.

A final draft of that report is expect to come sometime in late April or early May. The Secretary of the Air Force will make the decision of where to place F-35s 30 days later.
