For the record
1. I have not, and never have, objected to a skydiving business at LCA. My only objection is the proposed drop zones. I suspect that most of those posting do not know actually where those are.
2. My business is NOT based at the airport. In fact I fly out of 3 different airports using both aircraft and helicopters.
3. My business is not an issue here, and personal attacks on me have no influence on my opinions. Attacking me only emphasizes your lack of ability to form a cohesive argument.
4. My overall business will be unaffected no matter which way this ends up. I have no vested interest other than overall aviation safety.
5. If you think that federal funds pay anyones salary at LCA, you really need to do some independent fact checking.
6. I do not believe that skydiving is dangerous, and have stated this over and over. Tom is right- it was once very dangerous. Particularly back in the '60's. When I did it. Since then I nave seen amazing progress in the technology and capabilities. (And yes, I have been right next to someone gently landing on a concrete ramp.)
Everything has it's place. The middle of the airport is simply not the right one for Skydive Laconia.
