 F-22 RaptorsLt. Col. Alexus Grynkewich, 49th Operations Support Squadron commander, told Lincoln County commissioners he plans to note the locations of the affected towns to see how contact could be reduced.
Grynkewich cautioned he must balance training goals with potential impacts on communities. He said many of the problems could be resolved with more access to the Army’s White Sands Missile Range to the southwest.
Efforts to use that air space are under way, Grynkewich said.
The first two F-22s arrived at Holloman in June and four more are expected in December.
Eventually, 40 Raptors will be stationed at Holloman - one-third of the total number of those aircraft.
