Jet Noise Around El Toro Air Station
The letters from Bernard Feldman and M.D. Ludington (“Time for Action on Air Station Noise,” Aug. 25) concerning the training flights out of El Toro Marine Corps Air Station first puzzled and then appalled me.
The key word is training. If it weren’t for the superb training of our El Toro fliers (and all the other service personnel in our armed forces), the Persian Gulf crisis probably would not have concluded with such stunning success.
To those two letter writers I say, those pilots are your pilots. Rejoice in the knowledge that they risk their lives every day so you may sleep in peace (even when you allow the jet noise to keep you awake). Next time you hear that jet noise, say a little prayer of thanks, and turn over and go back to sleep.
