F. Arsenault: Support for overflights

The Sun Journal editorial April 29, "Accepting a higher good in overflights," was profound and expressed outstanding justification for those necessary flights. The type of terrain in this area will enable those astute and capable pilots to carry out their necessary training.

It is shocking to read of opposition to those training flights from a 30-year retired USAF colonel.

The "Sound of freedom" letter from Robert Bean, Capt.,/USN retired of Norway (May 1), offering approval and support of those flights was so well presented and appreciated.

My encouragement and immense gratitude to the courageous and skilled pilots. My hope is for their safety.

The only disappointment regarding the overflights is that I may not exit the building in time to watch the flyover.

Ferne Arsenault, Rumford
