Reply to "What a letter!"

Very businesslike and informative.
I grew up in Newport News, Virginia. I was blessed to have lived near two air fields. Langley Air Force Base, and Norfolk Naval Air Station.
I felt privledged to have these serviceman near us. I was very lucky to have had the pleasure to have seen a F-117 Stealth Fighter on its glide path into Langley for that weekends air show. The sound of a C-5 is so one off you know what that screaming turbine is from. I have got to see a B-2 Bomber making a fly-by(and setting off every car alarm for miles!)
I was working on the Naval Base in Norfolk and got to have the Thunderbirds fly right over top of me!!!
I was home a couple of years ago the news had stories of some groups who were making it their lifes work to sue the air bases because of the noise. What a joke, those bases have been around for so long. If it wasnt for the military not much would be in the Tidewater area. These people move in and think they can control the government???? Who do they think give us our freedoms???
