Although Senator Tom Udall supports military jobs in New Mexico, he is not happy with the way Cannon Air Force Base is pushing its LATN program. He promises to get with Air Force representatives and get them to get the information out to the people.


At this point, only 24 days remain for public comment on Cannon’s proposal to fly huge aircraft very low to the ground. Pilots would be training and practicing evasive maneuvering across a large training area covering much of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado, including Taos County.

Your Northern New Mexico Newsroom has the link for downloading the proposal and the comment form.

Go to:

On the right-hand side of Cannon’s home page, look for the subtitle “LATN Area Proposal Information.” Under that subtitle are eight documents you can click on, read, and download. One of those is the comment form that, as it stands now, must be filled-out and returned by October 4th.
