If the cows are freaked out by daylight-saving time, wonder how they'll handle this?
The Indiana Air National Guard has received final approval for its fighter jets to conduct training missions over Brown County, the Federal Aviation Administration has recently decided.
A new military flight zone will extend over much of eastern Brown County, allowing aircraft to fly as low as 500 feet as they approach a bombing range in Camp Atterbury. The flight zone will open August 3.
Despite pleas from Brown County officials during the public review process, real estate industry experts and small-aircraft pilots who sought compromises in the plan, the FAA decided the flight zone “will not result in any significant military impacts,” according to public notice it gave.
Acutally, as a Guard member explained to the Brown County folk, there won't be a new flight lane. One that already exists will become two-way instead of one-way, which will mean longer time in the area rather than more flights. If cows could count, that would matter.
