NAS OCEANA- IS HARMONIOUS CO-EXISTENCE POSSIBLE? CITIZENS
CONCERNED ABOUT JET NOISE (CCAJN) BELIEVES IT CAN BE, BUT ... In 1998-99, 156 F/A-18 Hornets were relocated to NAS Oceana where they joined nearly 150 F-14 Tomcats. Noise levels and accident risk dramatically increased - and the quality of life of 200,000 thousand residents were significantly degraded. The Navy now plans to replace nearly~ 150 Oceana-based Tomcats with a new version of the F/A-18 known as the Super Hornet, an aircraft that is up to four times louder than the Tomcat. |
