WARNING OF F-35 FLYOVERS!

 

 

  A VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE!

 

THE AIR FORCE'S PROPOSED PLAN IS TO GREATLY EXPAND THEIR MILITARY FLYOVERS OF THE TUCSON AREA (ESP. THE MIDTOWN AREA). THEIR PLAN CALLS FOR A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE NOISE CONTOURS, RESULTING IN AN ADDITIONAL 8,534 RESIDENCES, WHICH ARE NOT NOW AFFECTED, SUDDENLY BEING DESIGNATED BY THE FAA TO BE IN AREAS THAT ARE "UNSUITABLE FOR RESIDENTIAL USE".

 

COME TO THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS (LISTED BELOW THE FOLLOWING FACTS) TO FIND OUT IF YOUR HOME IS ONE OF THE 8,534 AND EVEN IF IT IS NOT, HOW MUCH YOUR PROPERTY COULD BE DEVALUED IF WE ALLOW THIS PROPOSAL TO GO THROUGH.

 

WE CAN STOP IT, BUT ONLY IF WE SHOW UP TO MAKE OUR CONCERNS AND OPPOSITON BE KNOWN VERBALLY AND IN WRITING.

 

FACTS ABOUT THE F-35 !

 

*LOUDEST FIGHTER EVER FLOWN

 

* FOUR TIMES LOUDER THAN ANY PLANE CURRENTLY FLYING OVER

   TUCSON

 

* VALLEY-WIDE NOISE IMPACT

 

* HIGH RISK AIRCRAFT:

 

       * SINGLE ENGINE, SINGLE PILOT FIGHTER JET

 

       * EXPERIMENTAL.... NO SAFETY RECORD

 

       * DEFECTS ALREADY CITED: ENGINE, LANDING GEAR, PILOT'S

          HELMET, & EJECTION SYSTEMS

 

* SEVERE PROPERTY DEVALUATION OF LARGE AREAS OF MAJOR

   METROPOLITAN TUCSON, & COULD DEVALUE PROPERTY IN THE

   ENTIRE VALLEY

 

* CLOSURES OF SCHOOLS & DAY CARE CENTERS

 

* SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OUR BIGGEST INDUSTRIES  (ECO-TOURISM & 

   HOSPITALITY) WHILE PROVIDING ONLY 123 LONG-TERM JOBS

 

* NOT BRINGING THE F-35 HERE WILL NOT CAUSE D.M. CLOSURE!

   TUCSON IS HIGH ON LIST FOR DRONE    OPERATIONS, WHICH IS MUCH

   MORE COMPATIBLE WITH A CITY OF OVER ONE MILLION!

 

THE AIR FORCE IS REQUIRED TO SOLICIT PUBLIC INPUT.

 

THEY WILL HOLD 2 PUBLIC METINGS & WILL ACCEPT WRITTEN PUBLIC INPUT UNTIL 03/14/12.
