Default RE: Turbine Restrictions during Burn Bans

I came to the meeting with the AMA turbine safety docs, copy of the county burn ban, evidence of claims against the AMA, evidence of studies the JPO had done about what percent of turbine crashes actually result in a fire. I had evidence that prop planes can cause grass fires.

I had evidence that prop planes can kill people, and that they have. I had evidence that in one form or another any of these activites can result in a "Doomsday Scenerio".

When we submitted all these facts, we were told they meant nothing, that if the rule was to be changed, we would have to submited a motion to change the rule.

So the next night I went to the meeting to submit a change to the club rules.
