Local business owners at the Chino Airport are not giving up on the idea of shutting down the Planes of Fame Air Show. A local judge has given the green light for a lawsuit after Planes of Fame attempted to thwart the idea through an anti-SLAPP motion — strategic lawsuit against public participation — claiming the suit was frivolous. Superior Court Judge David S. Cohn disagreed and will allow the lawsuit to continue.
Judge Moves Planes of Fame Air Show Lawsuit Forward
Key Takeaways:
- A judge has allowed a lawsuit filed by local Chino Airport businesses to proceed, aiming to shut down the Planes of Fame Air Show, rejecting the show's attempt to dismiss it.
- The lawsuit alleges that the air show obstructs business operations by erecting barriers, causing severe traffic, and closing airspace, thereby preventing customer access and grounding other airport businesses.
- Although the 2018 air show was permitted to continue despite the legal challenge, the plaintiffs are seeking a fair resolution for future air shows.
