mikeigo 0 #1 September 17, 2005 As many of you know, Gold Coast Skydivers is in the middle of a heated court battle with the Airport Authority at the Trent Lott International Airport in Moss Point, Mississippi. To make a long story very short, they are trying to get rid of me after 13 years. It is my belief that because I threatened to expose the tower scam at the airport (number of operations allegedly flown), the airport is trying to run me off to keep me quite. It is ironic that the airport director asked me to put one of our wind blades on top of the tower for the relief helicopters that are flying into the airport. The storm blew the airport's wind sock away. Not only did I set up our windblade, I also fixed the roof access door that was blown off during the storm. I can't even believe it!

mikeigo 0 #9 September 17, 2005 We plan to have our grand reopening with our SUPER Otter on September 24th. Currently the airport is operating under a TFR (temporary flight restriction), but that should be lifted soon. Also, our court date that was scheduled for last Wednesday has been postponed until after the first of the year. The airport, not the FAA, imposed the TFR. I could have probably contested it but I've learned to pick my battles carefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azureriders 0 #11 September 18, 2005 We were scheduled to jump the sunday of Katrina and are just waiting for the reopen so let us know if anything changes, otherwise we will be there. As for the wind blade, you can never go wrong be helping those in need. "Keep you friends closer, keep your enemies even closer" It will always pay off in the long run. Once again, we can't wait to get back in the air with you guys. Joe, Red, Sue and the gang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
