There are a lot of issues at hand. The City of Valp is protesting the F35 due to "noise pollution" (all the yankees that moved down to their retirement homes and are ****ed that airplanes have the nerve to fly overhead).
So..the AF designed an ILS to RWY 12. That ILS will close down the ENTIRE Western range. Neither AFSOC nor the Test Wing will have a range when the F35 is flying. The AF recently requested information on this AFTER they designed/TERPS and approved the new approach..
I don't think this is a done deal.
My $.02? Send the F35s to Canon........all the room they need to play.
