F-35 Public Scoping Meetings in Arizona

Fighter Country — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:56:47 +0000

The Air Force recently announced that it will be holding five public meetings, referred to as public-scoping meetings, February 22-26 in five communities near Luke AFB and its operations.

Public-scoping meetings are just the beginning

The purpose of the public-scoping process is to actively involve citizens and government agencies in helping identify the environmental issues to be addressed in the environmental analysis of the F-35 at Luke. These meetings will provide you with an introduction to the F-35 and its capabilities and mission. Specific information on how the F-35 will be integrated at Luke as a training facility will also be covered.

Open-house format

The meetings will be held using an “open-house” type format where there will be several informational tables for you to visit. Air Force, as well as Luke AFB, representatives will be staffing these tables to answer questions you may have. These public-scoping meetings will have no formal presentations. But, there will be an opportunity to submit written comments to the Air Force regarding Luke and the F-35.

Public Scoping Meeting Schedule:

CITY	ADDRESS	DATES AND TIMES
Gila Bend	Gila Bend Unified School District, 308 N. Martin Ave.	6-9 p.m., Monday, Feb. 22

Luke Forward campaign organizers are urging Luke supporters to attend one of the upcoming public scoping meetings, so you can learn as much as possible about the EIS process. Luke Forward has also provided an ability for people to fill out an EIS form on their website if they cannot make the meetings. A Fighter Country representative will deliver all forms to each EIS meeting.

Luke Forward – The F-35 Warplane and Luke

Fighter Country — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:58:39 +0000

Beyond being vital to Arizona’s economy since 1941, Luke Air Force Base protects the freedoms and security all of us enjoy by training combat-ready pilots and crews for the military’s most advanced fighter aircraft. Later this year, the U.S. Air Force will begin the process of considering to select Luke AFB as a future training site for the next generation of fighter aircraft, the F-35.

Our goal is to gather support from residents throughout the West Valley to let our military leaders in Washington D.C. know that there is tremendous community support for Luke in becoming a training base for the new F-35 and for its military personnel, who make the ultimate sacrifice so that all of us can enjoy a better life.

Please join this community support campaign by adding your name to our list at the Luke Forward Website.
