    The airspeed, altitude, and sound level chart in this article is very mis-leading. Tactical fighter aircraft are not allowed to fly at speeds greater than 350 knots when departing TIA or 300 knots when arriving. Those airspeeds must be adhered to within a 30 nautical mile radius of Tucson.
    I agree with Mr. Donald Pitt, president of the Campus Research Corporation, who stated:
    "The business community must have a long-range concern as to the benefits and detriments of the F-35," Pitt says. "That only makes good business sense."... I don't see how, without better information, anyone could be absolutely in favor or opposed to the F-35 coming to Tucson."
