(West Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa National Guard confirms it was fighter jets that shook some homes and windows around the Des Moines International Airport late Monday night. The two F-35 and F-18 jets landed in Des Moines after flying from an airbase in California. The jets were in Iowa as a tribute in a military funeral for Larry Spencer of West Des Moines. The 82-year-old Spencer was a prisoner of war in Vietnam after being shot down in 1966. Spencer’s funeral was Tuesday in West Des Moines.
