Military jet training negotiations continue

Occasional training flights by four-engine military jets over Johnstown’s airport are not part of continuing negotiations to establish assault landing zone training here, officials say.

The C-17 Globemaster transport jets from the 167th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard and Pittsburgh-based 911th Airlift Wing of the Air Force Reserve have used the Richland Township airfield to practice approaches as recently as Thursday.
