| For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25 Noticed this today. Van Nuys Airport (VNY) is closing its facilities to prop planes, which means the B-25 "Heavenly Body" will lose its hangar space. Go to the address below to find out more and sign the petition. http://www.petitiononline.com/N8195H/petition.html | |||||||||||||

| Re: For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25 I am already on it. I do not think that it is legal to say that you can no longer operate an aircraft out of an airport due to the fact it has props. | |||||||||||||

| Re: For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25 VNY is the closest airport to Hollywood. Sounds like the elites want it exclusively for their private jets.... 'Get those pesky little people in their Cessna's out of the pattern!'..  | |||||||||||||

| Re: For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25 Blimey!  I had no idea! Read and signed by me and my family. My son and I were able to do a walkaround of Heavenly Body in her VNY hangar last year. Very cool!  | |||||||||||||

| Re: For Petition Signers: Help save the VNY home of a B-25 Signed up as well. Doesn't anyone out there have any respect for something of this nature. My 7 yr old son loves his 1/72nd verison of Heavenly Body, even he gets the importance of the plane. Heck it didn't even see combat right? Its more of a Hollywood prop than war machine. | |||||||||||||

| 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. | |||||||||||||
