I just wanted to provide the forum with an update from the meeting this past Thursday. It was a quick meeting, but I was happy to learn that the LAA's Safety Committee will be meeting this Tuesday to discuss our proposal. It is my sincerest hope that based on the information that we provided that the outcome of this Safety Committee meeting will allow the LAA to reach a decision making point on our proposal for the June 2009 meeting.

After the meeting, I had dinner at The Lobster Pound. (Great food by the way.) I was wearing my "Skydive Laconia" t-shirt, and received incredibly positive feedback from both customers and employees. A group of tourists that came up for the weekend said that if we were open now, it would be on their To Do List the following day. A couple of employees also asked us to return "as soon as we open" to let them know so that they too can learn to skydive. Suffice to say, while our "market research" was limited (we didn't go out of our way to interview people), not a single person we spoke to showed anything less than total enthusiam about the idea of bringing skydiving to the Laconia Municipal Airport.

Mary and I will be returing to Gilford June 18th, 2009 for the next meeting of the LAA. If anyone on this forum would like to meet us at the Main Terminal prior to the meeting, say 4pm, we would be happy to address any and all questions first hand. (I will re-extend this offer as we get closer to the meeting as a reminder.)

Blue skies to all and to all a good flight,

Tom

Thank you very much for the update and I keep looking forward to the final meeting that gives you both the OK to start your new business at the LMA.
