EDITORIAL: F-35 experience in Madison will be similar to F-16s

Another important fact is that the vast majority of noise coming from the airport is created by commercial craft.

 

The State Journal editorial board has supported Madison’s pursuit of the F-35s, and the new report hasn’t changed that. We met with supporters and opponents of the jets last week, and respect concern for local constituents.

 

But Madison’s experience with the F-35s — including noise levels — should be similar to the city’s past and positive experience with the F-16s.
