Default A new threat to Nevada soaring

According to the "Nevada Appeal", Hill Air Force Base in Utah is seeking
approval from the FAA to add a 2,400 square-mile training zone for F-16 jets
over White Pine and Elko counties in eastern Nevada. The military already
has control over an estimated half of Nevada air-space, a lot compared to
other states. If approved, this new grab would have strong negative impact
on the growing use of this area by soaring pilots.

Please help spread the word and do what you can to fight this. NV Senator
