Neighbors of Reid-Hillview Airport who have long complained about the loud buzz of aircraft flying overhead, feared that a plane could come crashing into their home and stressed about leaded aviation fuel poisoning their children scored a major victory early Wednesday.

After a five-hour public hearing and discussion, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously around midnight to ask federal regulators to hasten the closure of the 180-acre general aviation airport in East San Jose and to ban the sale of leaded aviation fuel at the site in the meantime.
