Many Utahns show how pathetically petty they can be
Hill Air Force Base is strategically located in Northern Utah. Typically we hear the fighters, tankers, and other aircraft near the base up here in Davis County. It’s usually quiet at night, with minimal numbers of aircraft coming in and out. Last night, the 388th Squadron at HAFB were conducting night ops in their range in the west desert. Because a storm was moving in from the north, they were forced to land from the south. This shifted their flight path over parts of Salt Lake County.
These pathetic whiners actually took time to complain and the local news, KSL, gave them a platform from which to bitch and moan. Click here for the article, click here for the stupid-ass comments from the babies.
Sure, the noise can be a little annoying, but to go on the news and say, “It was a total disruption of my privacy…” is simply pathetic. Anyone who complains forgets about a few key aspects of having that base in our backyard:
- We are a nation at war. These pilots are saving lives in the war theaters.
- The nighttime disruption in Salt Lake is VERY rare.
- That base brings tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the state
All summer during wildfire season, where we live on the East Bench of the Wasatch Mountains, we have fire tankers flying overhead constantly, even at night, as we are in the flight path from Hill to all the fires south of us. I’d never consider complaining.
Reminds me of this one prick I new when I lived in the dorms at the University of Utah. The guy was there to one day become a doctor, yet found the need to bitch about the Life Flight that would occasionally fly over at night taking trauma patients to the University Medical Center.
Roll over and go back to sleep you pathetic, spoiled brats!
