You would think people like Daniel Patterson and the Tucsonans for Quality of Life etc. would be delighted to welcome these pilots and their planes but no, they conjure up selfish reasons why they shouldn’t be here. Patterson is all too typical of the bureaucrats that have allowed residential housing, packed like sardines, to be built in such close proximity to Davis Monthan all for the love of the developer who they let write the rules to build anywhere and everywhere. Now they howl that the noise is environmentally incompatible.
Tucson is unique in quality weather for training our young men and women to fly these marvelous machines that keep our country free; to hear them complain is tiresome to say the least. If the city is dumb enough to allow homes to be build along and under flight patterns and people are stupid enough to buy the same, so be it - Davis Monthan is far more important than a few malcontents.
Notice they don't complain about TIA with nearly identical approach patterns. The latest crop of California moonbats that have begun settling in Goodyear in new homes encroaching on Luke are also beginning to mouth the same trash.
