theonlyski 8 #1483 September 16, 2015 QuoteDuring the past year, the national news has been filled with stories about FAA's reckless implementation of NextGen air traffic control, impacting people near many major commercial airports, including Boston, Phoenix, Charlotte, Palo Alto, and the New York City area. NextGen switches air-traffic control from a ground-based system to a satellite-based one. As a result, commercial jets fly within a concentrated aviation superhighway rather than being dispersed over a wider area. Most significantly, the FAA is using NextGen to implement immediate turns upon departure (Grand Ave Phoenix being the most extreme example.) I don't know about that. STARs and SIDs aside, direct routing is much more likely enroute with GPS navigation than it ever was with VORs which cuts down the 'highways' utilization and spreads it out much more. Also, didn't Skydive Tecumseh shut down after some dispute with the airport owner?"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #1484 September 16, 2015 theonlyski Also, didn't Skydive Tecumseh shut down after some dispute with the airport owner? That airport is private property, open to the public. It was sold to a new owner who decided he didn't want skydiving there. Of course the difference between privately owned airport, and a publicly owned one, is lost on Kimmy."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Boomerdog 0 #1487 September 16, 2015 QuoteIt is a lame attempt to conceal her real anti-Mile-Hi agenda within something that appears to have a more general and national scope. Altogether too transparent. Yes. But now we see deliberate "mission creep" by CQS to the rest of the country. In the case of NorCal Skydiving in Cloverdale, CA, the DZO is facing a two sided assault 1) from a small noisy bunch in the community and 2) a developer who wants the City of Cloverdale to take the airport through eminent domain in order to put a resort in right next to the airport. Air traffic would propose a safety hazard to the resort. This may all be moot given the fact that the forest fires in that region do provide Cal Division of Forestry to park some of their smaller aircraft at Cloverdale. The Cloverdale Airport, however has received over $1M in FAA funding during it's operational history. Local press reports on the DZ indicate the DZO has sunk his life savings into NorCal Skydiving. I'm all for discretion but if whoever runs USPA Airport Access Defense is not involved at this point, they should be. I have to be optimistic that they are. Longmount and Mile-Hi Skydiving just might become "ground zero" for the sport and it becomes much more problematic if this issue is not contained and halted in Colorado.

ryoder 1,590 #1492 September 16, 2015 It is really sad that Tim Barth (who managed KLMO for 18 years), left. He struck me as a straight shooter that told it like it is, regardless of what the listener wanted to hear. But he had his fill of the city council not backing him up, so he left. The city council seems to operate under the delusion that trying to placate Gibbs will make her go away, when in fact it just encourages her to demand more.

gunsmokex 1 #1493 September 18, 2015 I still think one call to John Elway could fix all of this. Its a well known fact Coloradans love the Broncos. The Thunderstorm jumps every game promoting our sport ever home game @ Mile High Stadium or whatever they call it now in front of 50,000 screaming fans. John Elway is the GM of the Broncos and could probably run for Governor of CO and he'd probably win 90% of the vote. Well just have John Elway and his Broncos do some kind of public service announcement at the stadium when the Thunderstorm jumps in. Get the public support behind Mile-Hi saying something like the Thunderstorm is being threatened by the evil Kimmy and BAM John Elway quashes the Kimmy Longmont threat! Ok back to your regular programming! Go Raiders!! Haha :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpdude 0 #1496 September 18, 2015 Today's installment of the nutcase's propaganda!! And it's surprisingly short! _________________________________________________________________________ Hello Friends, We've been working on the petition below for a while, and it is now live on http://change.org. This is a nationwide effort to gain support for reasonable regulations to reduce airplane noise. Please take a moment to read and sign the petition, then share it with your friends and neighbors both near and far. We are focusing on the petition and FAA Reauthorization for the next couple of months. Many thanks to Jeff Lewis at Aviation Impact Reform (aireform.com) and Len Schaier at QuietSkies.net for their contributions to this effort. -Kim Petition to Urge Congress to adopt regulations to REDUCE AIRPLANE NOISE (LINK; https://www.change.org/p/members-of-congress-urge-congress-to-adopt-regulations-to-reduce-airplane-noise?recruiter=31196273&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=share_email_responsive ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This affects my mental health as well as the property value of my home. West Creek, NJ is less than 10 mins from Eagles Nest airport.
