Default Evil Trustees Harass Brave Executive Aviators

A plan to close a runway at Chicago Executive Airport is economically
driven and could pose a danger for single-engine planes, some pilots
say.
"It's apparent to us, the small-airplane owners, they don't really
want us here," said Jim Loerzel, a pilot based at the former Palwaukee
Municipal Airport in Wheeling. "All the improvements are geared toward
corporate aircraft."

Last week, the airport board recommended closing Runway 6/24, the
shortest of the airport's three runways, citing Federal Aviation
Administration concerns about a Montessori school being built near the
runway and worries about its 50-foot width.
....
Wheeling issued a permit for the school at the southeast corner of
Capitol and South Drives.
Last fall, the FAA decided that although the building was not in the
protection zone, putting a school there was an incompatible use of the
land. School officials said only a corner of the parking lot would be
in the zone.

"Protection Zone", more like private property confiscation zone..JG
