Late-night/early-morning Navy EA-18G “Growler” training flights are disturbing more than just sleep. “The recent, low-level flight training activity continuing past 1:30 AM is exactly what our communities have asked the Navy to mitigate,” stated Terra Huey, program director for the Sound Defense Alliance. Huey continued, “We have received numerous complaints and have long requested that the Navy respond to the region by moving some training squadrons elsewhere, or reducing training operations numbers and not training into early morning hours while families are sleeping. The Navy makes compromises with host countries where their training occurs. Why can’t the Navy make reasonable changes to alleviate the suffering of their American civilians
