Have you been hearing F-35 jets flying overhead late into the night? For the last two weeks, the Wisconsin Air National Guard has been conducting night training. Many of us in the flight path have been experiencing the booming jet noise as late as 10:30 p.m. On today’s show, host Bianca Martin talks with retired Madisonian Scott Pigg about his online project to track how loud the F-35s are and share real-time data with Madison residents.
