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.
