Earth Matters /
Hollomon F-16 Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Earth Matters co-producer and Gila Resources Information Project director Allyson Siwik talks to Peter Russell and Earth Matters co-producer and Upper Gila Watershed Alliance director Donna Stevens, both members of Peaceful Gila Skies, about the Holloman Air Force Base expansion of its F-16 pilot training airspace across southern New Mexico.

Although the Air Force acknowledges that current airspace is adequate for F-16 combat training, it would like to add more- enough to support an additional 10,000 training sorties per year for low-level, high-level, supersonic and nighttime training along with discharge of 15,000 flares and 15,000 bundles of chaff annually.

Holloman has released its

and will be holding public hearings on its proposed alternatives starting December 2 in Socorro, December 3 in Truth or Consequences, December 4 in Silver City and December 5 in Las Cruces.

Peaceful Gila Skies is a coalition of business and community leaders, conservation groups, sportsmen, veterans, concerned citizens, united in the goal of protecting the Gila Region from military aircraft training.
