Re: For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25

I also signed but I am still confused. Is VNY actually closing to propeller-driven aircraft or is it simply increasing rental fees? It appears this is simply an economic issue.
I read the petition and I question whether appealing primarily based on Heavenly Body's status will change anything. I think a better approach would be to emphasize the tradition of civil aviation and the economic benefits of non-jet aviation while also discussing the history and vintage aircraft angle. Perhaps some compromise allowing for a certain percentage of discounted rental rates for the small civil community, or an exedmption for historic aircraft would be better. It's usually more effective to protest with a plan than simply protest.
