Ejection Handle Pulled
I got this from a buddy of mine who lives in the area:
Joplin MunicipalAirport (KJLN) 20-Year Master Plan and Runway 5-23
*
The manager of the Joplin, Missouri, Regional Airport (KJLN) - a non-pilot - has for some time been on a mission to permanently close Runway 5-23.* Considering wind direction and velocity values prevailing in the Joplin area, this runway is essential to the continued safe operation of light aircraft at the airport; and its closure would thus cause significantly negative impacts on safety.
*
Accordingly, a Joplin Airport Users Group has been formed with the general goal of positively affecting, for all users, the long-term safety and utility of the Joplin, Missouri, MunicipalAirport; and the immediate goal of preserving, protecting and maintaining KJLN Runway 5-23.* In furtherance of these goals, the User Group has created an on-line electronic petition that pilots, aircraft operators, tenants and current and potential users of the airport can use to register their support for this important safety initiative.* If you ever use, or expect to use, the Joplin airport, and you agree that Runway 5-23 should be kept open, usable and maintained, please say so at:

Thank you on behalf of the Joplin Airport Users Group.
