Salute!

Not a new tactic by the anti-military or NIMBY folks that have their freedom but do not appreciate what others have sacrificed for them. Go to courts versus elected U.S. congressional or state officials. The EPA environmental impact studies and such have not only slowed down basing of our new F-35, but have also resulted in reducing the planned number at a few places like where I live.

We have had areas all over the U.S. for decades that limit overflight or other activities by the USAF, USA , USMC, USN et al. Our low level training routes had many "no fly" circles and a small jog left or right was enuf to avoid complaints.

I feel the grunts moving thru the streets with M-4 guns and serious armor and such might disturb the "natives" more than the Eagles.
