At the end of a long evening, and a trying day, it's difficult to be ''proper''. Oh, well.

Since the field is CLOSED, and won't reopen until AMA issues a ''blessing'' to the City.....Who can the City folks believe if the same ''AMA'' Official gave them the thumbs up in April of 2010, and now sends a recommendation to the same people to CLOSE and suspend flying???????

If anyone on this forum can offer a reasonable and intelligent factual reply, I'd be really interested to hear it.

Did the AMA Flying Site ''recommendations'' that were used for approval in 2010 suddenly get modified, rescinded, or revoked in mid-2011? Does anyone know?

For our flying site to be ''saved'', some AMA big-dogs with genuine credibility are going to have to overcome this spit-in-your-face reversal of opinion to the City dudes. Just guessing here, but I'm reasonably-sure that the City folks who authorized the bids, approved the contracts, then signed the checks, *based on the go-ahead in 2010*, are probably, maybe, just a teensy-bit-pissed at the moment.....

I'd sure like to have someone with THE clout give me a shout.... I'll hook 'em up with the City folks in a heartbeat. I think this is called ''service recovery'' in the industry......

Somebody pass the popcorn; this is gonna be better than an oil-debate....
