EGLIN AFB — What a difference a few years make.
In 2008, the city of Valparaiso sued the Air Force over access to information about the proposed stationing of F-35s at Eglin Air Force Base. At that time, the city was concerned about the possible negative impact of high noise levels on the community.
On Tuesday, however, Mayor Bruce Arnold, the face of the city’s previous opposition, had nothing but good things to say about the Air Force, even after an announcement that a temporary shift in the F-35s’ runways might lead to higher noise levels in the city.
