Mike Whaley, Valkaria Air Fest
Last week's announcement of the efforts to sell off the Hillsboro, Illinois airport brought in a lot of response. In fact the local paper (that has the coal company as a sponsor) took down the survey many people participated in when the numbers became something like 95% to keep the airport and only 5% to sell it. One of the letters I received was from Mike Whaley from Florida where pilots have been battling another effort to shut down an airport. We talk about advice for anyone facing the villagers with pitchforks. Valkaria Air Fest (9/18/07)
