In this case it is the Navy that is in the wrong, and the Judicial system that is in the right. Judge Boyle even is even supposed to be one of Bush's nominees to the Appeals Court I believe. The Navy has ignored every rule they ever said had to be observed in the picking of a placement for a OLF, and just arbitrarily decided that Eastern NC would be where the OLF was placed. that was wrong. The region is completely unsuitable due to a wildlife refuge that is home to geese. Can you imagine the implications of a goose getting sucked into the engine of a jet? Pilot dies, it possibly crashlands in a habited area killing people on the ground, and millions of dollars are lost when the jet crashes. The OLF in NC is a horrible idea.
Yes. Thank God that the jets are limited to the Virginia coast now, where there aren't any birds or other flight hazards!
