Mr. Shuman I appreciate your response and apologize for misspelling your name. Two quick notes, flight patterns have been altered, more on top of NAS Whidbey's rather than NOLF Coupeville. Speaking on behave of myself, my opposition is driven by the uncompromising confrontational drive to remove NOLF Coupeville without a like repacement facility on hand. Arguments over money is not the issue for me. Safely coming aboard a gray lady at sea in a hostile environment is. For I have experienced the aftermath of catastrophe on a flight deck due inadequate training and preparation for that hostile environment.
