The Chino guys need your help now! Urgent!

I wonder how much this pointless exercise has cost both Yanks and PoF ?
The only winner being the Lawyers. 😡

Yanks just dropped the injunction……

You can sign something just to show a spirit of feeling ,legal or otherwise or you can do nothing.I do think that opinions sometimes can sway a balance ,same as people get swayed by advertising.

I agree J, it’s hard to understand how a court – any court, besides that of public opinion – would take into account a petition like this.

That being said, I work in the justice system and signed it anyway :p

I’m curious to see what impact the signatures (especially those from people outside the jurisdiction) have on the case.

Really, it’s fun to get worked up and sign a petition with sincere righteousness indignation, but I don’t think it has any legal standing.

Signed.

from wix:

Update: 20 April 2017 –The hearing has been moved to 28 April due to the judge, that was scheduled to hear the case, has had some dealings with the airport and county. The request was made by Yanks Air Museum. It is also rumors that SOCAL MRO and Zangeneh Aeronautics has withdrawn from the case.

Hearing is tomorrow, petition now has over 15,000 signatures.

PoF has filed their response. It appears their lawyers know what they are doing…

Signed

A cheeky ‘bump’ to get this topic back to the top of the forum once more.

If you have yet to sign the online petition, link below, or have not yet sent an email of support to Planes of Fame ([EMAIL=”letusfly@planesoffame.org“]letusfly@planesoffame.org[/EMAIL]) please take a few moments out of your day to do so.

If you have already done so then you have my hearty thanks, but do please spread the word and encourage others to do the same.

To be fair you are quite correct.

The begging for money only comes up after you sign, and then they do make clear the money is for the website and won’t help the petition.

I was totally wrong / out of date. Apologies.

The petition and the lawsuit appear to be seperate things…

And there’s no ‘Donate’ button on the Change web page.
It’s simply a publicity driver set up by a ‘fan’…

It seems an odd effort to stop a lawsuit by a petition…which has no legal standing.

“Change.org” is an internet business

They host or create meaningless petitions and append a donate button that says something like “If you want to help our work putting a stop to the torturing of fluffy kittens you can donate here” (or whatever the petition is about)

The terminally naive seeing this donate a few quid or a dollars. Of course the total ‘work’ that change.org or 38degrees or the others do is to host petitions.

Stupid waste of time signing, stupid waste of money donating.

Did exactly the same as John, and on show day I drove in and out without issue. Nothing like Duxford Cosford Fairford etc

Ironically, the only times I’ve ever been to Yanks is during the day or two prior to the Planes of Fame airshow, right within the 8 or 9 day span of time that they claim a lack of/prevention of business, and I’ve only ever been to Yanks because of traveling to Chino for the Planes of Fame airshow. Judging from what I’ve read on FB, many others just the same.

Sitting here typing this I have some sympathy for the tenants and business’s affected by the air show. I run a vintage restoration shop at Sonoma Raceway in the bay area of San Fransisco and have to close my shop for four event’s a year for a total of 12 days, plus severe disruption for the extra 8 days of setup and strike down time. for this period my customers lose all access to my business. The difference is when I signed my lease this was made quite clear and I signed in full knowledge of this. Perhaps if as sounds like the case at Chino this was not part of the lease agreement? Now I love Chino and am a regular visitor to the airport and museum, when I lived in SOCAL I was a paid member of Planes of Fame and even went for a flight in the Mustang. It sounds to me reading the complaint that personality problems have occurred that may well be unsolvable by the party’s involved and court is the only way to deal with it. I don’t think that they have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the law suit but maybe it will change things for the better for the plaintiffs because of it? It just seems such a shame that this has to be resolved in this manner and not by cooler minds in private. I have no affiliation with Yanks museum at all In fact I had a very poor experience there when they were first starting out! These opinions are based purely on a businessman’s take in not dissimilar circumstance. Mainly because this weekend is one of those weekends and I have a customer who wants to pick up his car and cannot!

Looks like the “internal” page at Flying pussies is turned off at this time for some mysterious reason,,,

Reading through the compaint throws up several examples of outright fiction. They claim that airport tenants are caught up in traffic backed up for miles during the airshow. Truth is that the tenants get to use a separate gate & don’t face any traffic at all. I’ve used that gate during the show several times & there is absolutely no delay in getting into the airport. In fact it’s actually faster as they have a guy on the gate & it’s open when you get to it so you don’t have to stop to enter the code or RFID doodad at the sensor.

I suppose the scanned document at Dropbox at

says it all.

Hard to believe the first few pages came from a serious attorney/legal professional. A lot of prejudicial and biased statements in there and a few typos too. On that basis alone I’d bet on it being thrown out. Let’s hope so. Not sure about the other businesses, but I’d think that Yanks will suffer some backlash.
