The 40-year-old F-16 aircraft have now been replaced by 27 new F-35 aircraft. There has been a lot of controversy in connection with the acquisition of the aircraft, since the noise at the start-up has been too intense for the neighbors at air base Skrydstrup. It has meant that there has been put around 250 million crowns of compensation.
117 neighbors have been offered to get acquired their residence, and 1500 others have been offered insulation of the living space.
