Just a brief friendly reminder here......if the Laconia Airport goes nowhere with a skydiving business proposal, then maybe you might consider that beautifull small municipal airport, just off Rt 93-Exit 26, in Plymouth NH......the Plymouth Municipal Airport. It has a very soft green grass runway with excellent quality green grass that would probably be good for skydiver landings as opposed to the black asphalt runway at Laconia. Plus, it's just a short distance from the Rumney Rocks-WMNF natural cliff, sport rock climbing area (see Rumney Rocks in the Outdoor Recreation section) that attracts rock climbers from all over the world. Probably, there would be some cross interest with people who come to rock climb who could also give skydiving a first time jump.
Likewise, the yummy $3.98, 4-cheese frozen pizzas at the Plymouth Super Wal-Mart probably shares a strong demographic with skydivers

Say hey; the Gilford Wal-Mart which is an immediate abutter to the Laconia Airport, carries no frozen pizzas what-so-ever, so's that another excellent reason to stay the heck away from the Laconia Airport and make the move to the Plymouth Municipal Airport!
