A protest against the removal of the Aviators Wall of Fame at Erie International Airport will be held Feb. 1.
The protest, which is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the airport, is being organized by retired Air Force Col. James Regenor, one of three living aviators honored by the Wall of Fame, and his family.
A mural and photos of the Erie aviators that was located in the airport's baggage claim area was covered up over the summer by a health-care advertisement.
The Erie Regional Airport Authority voted 6-2 Wednesday not to restore the mural and portraits.
