"Warren said he has been told by airport operators to quit hosting the "Young Eagles" program that teaches local kids how to fly.
Warren has filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, among other things. He claims he was told by airport officials his flight training program is a business subject to taxes and airport regulations, but the lieutenant colonel says the pilots who train the kids don't charge a dime.
"The only money that's flowing was out of my pockets and into the gas tanks," he said. "It doesn't make any sense."
I have never heard anything like this coming from any airport operator who knew anything about the YE program.... Talk about being short sighted!
