Dear Mr. Martin and Ms Fornof:
Luke Air Force Base has served a vital role for the U.S. Air Force for seventy years. As the world’s largest fighter wing and the finest training base in the world, Luke is the logical location as a training site for the F-35 mission. Arizona has the ideal climate, land, airspace, training ranges and facilities needed to fly the F-35.
Luke Air Force Base enjoys unconditional community support from Arizonans like me. In fact, Arizona is viewed as a model for proactively and successfully securing statewide legislation that ensures responsible land-use planning around the state’s military institutions to ensure that development is compatible with the installation’s mission. Luke also possesses the ability to house up to six squadrons of F-35’s along with a network of auxiliary fields which are of critical importance to pilot training. Finally, its management and operation of Barry M. Goldwater Range, provides pilots with year round, state-of-the-art training capabilities and a realistic training environment.
These are just a few of the many reasons why I encourage the Record of Decision to support the Air Force recommendation of Luke Air Force Base as the future home to the F-35 training mission.
Sincerely,
Your First Name & Last Name
