yeah - I had heard that. That happens all the time. Folks buy homes nearby military installations and then complain incessantly about the noise. We have several avoid areas while we're flying in the local area to keep up public relations.
Yeap I read this a while back as well. Stupid civilian pricks!
Regarding "Flyby honoring fallen comrade" (Letters, June 28):
I read with increasing embarrassment and humility the response to my unfortunate letter to The Republic concerning an Air Force flyby ("A wake-up call from Luke's jets," Letters, June 23).
I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known.
I have received many calls from the fine airmen who are serving or have served at Luke, and I have attempted to explain my side and apologized for any discomfort my letter has caused.
This was simply an uninformed citizen complaining about noise.
I have been made aware in both written and verbal communications of the four-ship flyby, and my heart goes out to each and every lost serviceman and woman in this war in which we are engaged.
I have been called un-American by an unknown caller and I feel that I must address that. I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. I love my country and respect the jobs that the service organizations are doing.
Please accept my heartfelt apologies.

Seems sincere but being a vet he should of known better. Now that he pulled his head out of his @ss, I hope his brain is getting the required oxygen it needs so he doesn't make other stupid mistakes like this.....
I think some people just have nothing better to do than bitch.
Hehehehehe.......Hit the nail on the head. There was a time people told them to shut up. Not with the coming of the "Me" generation.
Baby Boomers, sniveling little turds.
