Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by
civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes,
forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant
colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an
individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper
complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.

When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must
Have stung quite a bit.

The complaint:
'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:

Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely
9:11 A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over
Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet.
Imagine our good fortune! Do the
Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to
impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special?

Any response would be appreciated.

The response:

Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12
a.m., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-16s from the 63rd Fighter
Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy
Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously
stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30,
Memorial Day.

At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial
Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on
the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise,
I'm sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my
words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their
son's flag on behalf of the President of the United States and all those
veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have
endured..

A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those
who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators
and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer
witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, 'Whom do we thank for the morning air show? The
56th Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to
the widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was
in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their
lives.

Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ
and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr.

I WAS looking at a house in that area awhile back and the kids were like that would be cool to see those planes over head, all I get over here is life flight and the goodyear blimp over head and they don't bother me one bit.

I live out near the end of Gateway Airport's runway.  It's the old Williams Air Force Base and there's still some military air traffic through there so I get to see some pretty cool planes taking off, doing touch-and-gos, things like that.  I love it.  I sit on my back porch and watch them for hours sometimes.  When I built the house, the land report clearly stated that I was within 2 miles of an airport, 3 miles of a train track (also love to hear them in the distance) and I signed the paper saying that I was willing to live there despite that.  Those people need to shut their yappers and move back to Kansas.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters.  Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.

I good never complain about something and someone that protects us, It's like a railroad track if you move by one then don't complain about the train, my buddy love's trains and bought a house so like 50ft from one, and a train runs down it every hour, we would go out there and climb the tower next to it and wave as it would go by, the wind from that thing is something eles at 70mph. Very cool.

I live out near the end of Gateway Airport's runway.  It's the old Williams Air Force Base and there's still some military air traffic through there so I get to see some pretty cool planes taking off, doing touch-and-gos, things like that.  I love it.  I sit on my back porch and watch them for hours sometimes.  When I built the house, the land report clearly stated that I was within 2 miles of an airport, 3 miles of a train track (also love to hear them in the distance) and I signed the paper saying that I was willing to live there despite that.  Those people need to shut their yappers and move back to Kansas.

Is the beer cold?  I may come join you on the porch!  That's pretty darn cool. :good  :beer

Cold beer and a perfect view as they take off to the west.  The noise has never bothered me, although it gets a little loud when there is a cloud cover.  Sometimes I hear the jet engines roar for an extended time and it took me a while to figure that one out.  It turns out they fly Harriers out of there once in a while.  Those things are a blast to watch...pun intended.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters.  Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.
