The state has reached a deal with the federal government that will keep 
planes operating at the Air National Guard's 103rd Fighter Wing at 
Bradley International Airport.

The 15 A-10 Warthog attack jets will be removed and replaced by eight 
C-21 cargo planes, starting as early as September, preserving a flying 
mission at the base, which is in East Granby next to Bradley, officials 
said.

The C-21 is the military version of the Lear Jet 35A business jet, 
according to the U.S. Air Force's Air Force Link website. It can be used 
as a cargo jet or passenger airlift....
