Fighter Jet and the Gateway Monument proposed by Main Gate United of the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of Alamogordo.
At the August 13, 2024 Alamogordo City Commission meeting commissioners and the public were presented more details of the Main Gate conceptualized version of the Fighter Jet and the Gateway Monument proposal. The Chamber is acting as a facilitator for the proposed project and at this point has begun fundraising but has not asked the city for any funding. The proposal was just to inform the city and ensure approval of the proposed site at Hwy 54 and 70.
The goal of the project is to help Alamogordo define its identity as a military town that is deeply inbeded with a history of flight due to its affiliation with Holloman Air Force Base and its proximity to testing at the White Sands Missle Range. The idea is it eould compliment the Space Center and lift off the history of the time when Alamogordo was known as "rocket city."
The centerpiece to the project is the F-4 Fighter Jet. There are many examples of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs on display around the world, often in aviation museums and at facilities that once operated the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is an American tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it entered service with the Navy in 1961 before it was adopted by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force, and by the mid-1960s it had become a major part of their air arms. Phantom production ran from 1958 to 1981 with a total of 5,195 aircraft built, making it the most produced American supersonic military aircraft in history, and cementing its position as a signature combat aircraft of the Cold War
During the commission meeting the commissioners were asked toConsider, And Act Upon, Resolution 2024-56, Approving The Location Of The City Of Alamogordo's F-4 Fighter Jet. The motion passed.

where's neighbor john baake - to explain to us that contamination of natural resources really isn't that big a deal....and besides, it's a safe distance from where HE lives.
You must mean thank you to the professional lobbyists, because I'm not finding any professional scientist's or doctors involved in any of these decisions.
of course not - dear leader/elon musk/and the doge boys have cleaned out anyone who had legitimate credentials....nothing left here but worshippers of the orange overlord.
the trump regime is always looking for ways to ****** the rug out from under deserving citizens - so they can stabilize the precarious situation that our poor deserving billionaires find themselves in.
another shout out to our elected state office holders for going to bat for the everyday people of new mexico!
If Senator Martin Heinrich spear headed this legislation, that spear must've ended up in a cow somewhere around Clovis, because it never made it to D.C.
According to the Congressional record, the bill was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio, and co-sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, both of Florida.
another amazingly foolish statement on your part, neighbor.
Gotta love these activists, complaining that the area has passed from defacto control by para-military drug cartels, with orders to shoot anyone they see on site. To control by the US military with orders to warn and detain.
three cheers for the "escalation in the trump administration policy of militarization of the borderlands". most good americans always wanted to live inside a military zone - just like all the germans in post war berlin...and the delightful 38th parallel in korea.
Could it be much worse than living in or next to a national park, forest, or monument? Or even worse, a state park, forest, or wild life reserve?
The Federal and state land grabs have been astronomical in terms of the sheer amount of acreage seized.
The only thing I have been able to confirm as true is that Donald J. Trump is POTUS.
