    The US Air Force is intent on replacing its entire fleet of aging jet fighters with a single multipurpose aircraft called the F-35. Powered by a single, powerful Pratt and Whitney engine that produces 40,000 pounds of thrust, the F-35 is a noisy beast. The Air Force is thinking of basing 72 of the new jets at the airport in Boise, Idaho. Doing so would dramatically expand the 89 acres near the airport currently designated as Not Suitable For Residential Use to 6958 acres and impact 10,119 residents. If Boise can send the message to look somewhere else perhaps we won't find ourselves in 10 years being force to sue the Air Force like Valparaiso, California did.

    The Air Force wants to base 72 F-35A aircraft at Gowen Field. All four locationsBoise, Tucson, Holloman, and Luke, not just one or twowould be scheduled to receive F-35As. F-35As are twice as loud as F-15s and F-16s on takeoff and 4 times as loud on landing. The 72 F-35As would take off and land 50 times per day for a total of 14,000 times per year. The F-35As would use afterburners 1,400 times per year. The F-35As would fly at night over 1,400 times per year. Stretching from Maple Grove on the west to Columbia Village on the east, the Not Suitable for Residential Use (NSFRU) noise footprint would would increase from the current 89 acres and 142 residents to 6,958 acres and include 10,119 residents. (See map below) 4 schools, 13 day care centers and 2 parks are located in the area that would be designated NSFRU. Major public venues impacted would include Hillcrest Golf Course, Simplot Sports Complex, the Shakespeare Festival complex and Ice World.

Sleep interruptions would increase by 33%. 313 residents would experience hearing loss.
