Congratulations on fighting the good fight and winning! Here's hoping
the County decides to fold, and not torture you further.

This is monumental.

The FAA ruling regarding the County of Riverside's banning of gliders
from the HMT has been released and completely supports soarings
continued use of HMT in So California.

We did this for ourselves, and we did this for everybody in soaring.

And we won!

We all now have a legal foundation in case law that supports soarings
right to fly at public use airports. Unless the public authority has
an "FAA Safety Study", they can not ban sailplane operations.

Sometimes the biggest news in soaring is not the new blinking gizmo on
your panel. ;-)

Thanks to many with special thanks to our attorney, Ron Cozad. The
County has 30 days....

We kicked their butts!
