Mike, I hope you're wrong, I live about 7 miles south of Luke on 99th ave and Lower Buckeye, and it's always a pleasure hearing the Vipers depart in the evening. I know there's a lot of support for it here in the valley (for obvious reasons). I think one of the main positives it has is the weather that AZ is known for in the flying world.

Secondary thought, forgive my ignorance, but can the F16 refuel in flight? If so, why not get the AFNG'er's at PHX involved and do some additional training on their way to West MOA's?

As an addition, I love the last quote in the article, "They fly over my house everyday, it's the sound of freedom." WOOT!
