I live under the flight path for a base which had hosted F-16's for training, until very recently when they switched to F-35's. The locals have been in an uproar for the last few years ever since it was announced. I was talking to an ATC, and he said even though they are louder they should be glad since there will be far fewer flights since the F-35 is so expensive to fly. Is that true?

Thanks for answering! You can probably guess which city. It doesn't bother me too much, but I do roll my eyes a little at every other house having a sign in the yard making it seem like our quality of life is being destroyed.
