I love the sound of jet fighters in the morning. It's the sound of ... "freedom."

Langley Air Force base has received five complaints this year from people who say their lives are disrupted by the noise.

Then move!....Good grief! I love the sound of jets overhead. We live on approach to Travis Air Force Base, and the high-pitched whine of the four TF39 turbofan engines on the C-5 are not only the sound of freedom, but the sound of economic prosperity for the communities that surround the air base.

Oceana Naval Air Station is under assault from Citizens Concerned About Jet Noise, a citizens group that claims 5,000 members who complain constantly

Question: How long has the NAS been there, and how long have these whiners lived in the neighborhood?

And where the hell are they going to base the Atlantic Fleet's fighter wings out of if they close Oceana? Good grief, people are IDIOTS!

I was in Virginia Beach the day the Theodore Roosevelt sent her air wings back onshore from their deployment in the First Gulf War. Let me tell you, it was loud as hell in VB that day, and I loved every second of it! I even kept walking outside from the computer installation job I was doing just to get a look at F-14s, F/A-18s, and A-6s flying over. Heck, we used to get fighters (Navy fighters from Oceana, I think) blasting right over our house north of Lynchburg, 250 miles away, practicing low-level attack runs in the mountains. It was great!

...members who complain constantly

Translation: Democrats.

This is pathetic. How fast would these idiots change their tune if these same fighters were flying overhead to intercept enemy fighters? Real damned fast.

Citizens Concerned About Jet Noise

BooHoo

I'm sure they do not complain about the influx of military derived pay in their local businesses...

Yes, would the whiney babies rather hear the sound of freedom or the sounds of enemies attacking us. Good Lord...
