I appreciate what you have presented James. I don't have a way to measure, but the noise measurements they took at the East side of the airport were in a very wooded area, with lots of trees to muffle the sound. I live near Industrial Ave and Rt. 2! and the roars are dreadful. I work from home and have to halt my meetings. If I'm in the garden I have to cover my ears or try to get inside fast enough. Another day I was in the parking lot near Hannaford's with 2 bags of groceries in my arms when the jets roared overhead. I couldn't stop in the middle of the road to put down my bags to cover my ears.

Worse than this discomfort for all of us is the murder of citizens in other countries. How in this day and age can we justify that it's ok for us to decimate another country, kill innocent people, and poison their country, because we can't /WON'T solve disagreements peacefully. As a country, we have to find creative positive ways to support ourselves - not just sell munitions, jets, tanks, missiles, drones, bioweapons, and Darn T socks to other countries, and wastefully burn millions of gallon of gas from our own oil companies. Russia WAS ready to negotiate, but our military-run government refused to create peace. What does it mean to want to be the number 1 country in the world? That we own and sell the most weapons? That we need/desrve to bully the rest of the world?

Thank you for considering the real truth about War and the USA.

I agree with all that you say. We have all been put in harms way, over the f-35 flying here. The whole situation translates to a much lower quality of life. We need to put an end to this! How did we ever let this happen in Vermont. Aside from the mental anguish, my hearing and vertigo have been affected. Decibel readings regularly spike over 105db multiple times a day. CDC posts over 80db will damage hearing. There is no denying that the health of all living with the f-35 will suffer.
