About 30 protesters held up signs opposing the National Park Service takeover of Pearson Air Museum on Thursday afternoon as they waved and cheered at cars passing by on the quiet street.

Across the way, an empty area of park land at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site was marked off with cones and a scattering of picnic tables.

With a wry smile, Aaron Ochoa, a park ranger, walked through the group for a quick chat with Elson Strahan, president of the Fort Vancouver National Trust, which has been operating the museum for the city.

The two spoke briefly, and Ochoa walked back toward the crowd.

Asked if he was about to tell the makeshift group to disperse, he shook his head.
