The referendum didn't come through because not enough citizens voted. They needed 25%, only about 22% went to the vote.
But from the citizens who did vote, about 60% voted for Tempelhof, about 40% to close it. So...if a few more people would have gone to the referendum, it would have been a success!
A very sad day indeed. In my opinion THF is not only something special of Berlin, but one of the roots of german aviation and a national memorial.
Well...still a few months to fly there or visit it during a Berlin trip.
A general GA-fly-in is planned for may 3rd/4th...
