Fight or Flight?

Aerobatic demonstration doesn't change minds of city officials

A demonstration by aerobatic pilots Saturday has not changed the minds of city officials challenging the location of their practice area.

The city council was invited to a gathering of the aerobatic pilots Saturday morning at the Morris Municipal Airport, where the gathering was hosted by Blue Sky Aero flying school.

The council called a special meeting to attend the event so that all the council members could attend, if they wanted, without violating the open meetings act. No council action was taken. Mayor Richard Kopczick and aldermen Julian Houston and Ken Sereno attended.
