A group that is working to stop F-35 fighter jets from being based at Madison’s Truax Field has filed a second lawsuit.
The group calling itself Safe Skies Clean Water Wisconsin claims the U-S Air Force and the National Guard Bureau failed to follow the law when it was considering the impact of locating the jets at the 115th Fighter Wing.
The federal suit was filed Wednesday.
The military plans to replace its outdated fleet of F-16 fighter jets with the F-35s starting in 2023.
Safe Skies Clean Water Wisconsin says the impact of noise, air, and groundwater pollution wasn’t factored in.
