Warren letter: F-35s

So the Air Force is going to bring F-35s to Boise for the air show but will not fly them during the show or tell the citizens of Boise when they will arrive or depart. Could it be that the Air Force does not want the citizens of Boise to be able to actually hear how much noise these aircraft make, especially in comparison to other high-performance aircraft? If we were able to hear them under operational conditions, we would be able to make a much more informed decision about how we feel about them being stationed here.

Mike Warren, Boise
