Editor,

I am so sick of this stupid Outlying Field argument. For the love of God and country, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, just let these boys and girls do their jobs and practice getting on and off a carrier safely.

Or instead of reading what you sign before you sign it, would you rather read about how one of those planes missed the wire and went off of the back-end of a carrier deck?

We are all sorry that you made the mistake of carelessly buying property in a high noise zone, but please don’t keep making young air crews risk their lives more than they already do because of it.

You are to blame for your mistakes, not them. Now let’s get back to peace and sound of freedom here on Whidbey.
