RA: You being from a place with "wide open spaces" don't understand the problem the people around NAS Oceana and
NAS Norfolk have with the noise from F/A-18's. I don't mind the noise, but people who live right in the landing patterns bitch
and moan all the time about the noise. The area around NAS Oceana use to be farmland, but the subject of money
caused many of the farmers to sell the property to developers. And, with city council approval, they built lots
of homes around NAS Oceana. Now they have noise, and some people have tried to sue the Navy because of the noise.
In order to rid the area of the noise problem, the Navy has been looking for a suitable place to build an OLF. But, it's
the same old story, "not in my back yard".
Using Franklin Airport for prop aircraft will save the Navy money, and put it in the hands of the people in Franklin.
A "win-win" situation.
Thanks for taking care of the photo, I've edited the posts so we don't have a dupe.

Charles is that the same airfield with that forlorn B-25?
