Gary73 10 #52 May 1, 2009 QuoteThe hangar construction will be completed next week and jumping should start around the 3rd week of May. Aircraft will include a King Air and a 182. The airport has been expanded on both ends, so there is even more landing area than before. The new hangar is four times larger than the old one. Monroe once was the place to be, and soon will be again. Actually there's a lot less landing area than there used to be before they extended the taxiway and put the security fence across the middle of the West landing area. Also, the runway was only extended on the north end, and that was done before the dropzone closed three years ago. Likewise, the old hangar was 3,600 sqft. while the new one is 6,000; not even twice as big, much less four times. Skydive Monroe was a great dropzone because of the people. Very few of those people will be going back, so don't be surprised if it doesn't feel like home anymore. QuoteWeb site?Quote It is under construction but it will be, Skydive Now Atlanta.com Depends on what the court decides. "Skydive Now Atlanta" is a pretty clear infringement on the name "Skydive Atlanta". Was that really the best name that he could come up with?

maadmax 0 #53 May 1, 2009 Goodness Gary, are you ever going to bury the hatchet? Monroe will be a great place whether or not you ever give it your blessing. The runway has been extended considerably in both directions. Many of the trees in the North, East, and West areas of the airport are being removed. Making the landing area is much larger than before. "Skydive Atlanta", "Atlanta Skydive", "Skydive Now Atlanta" , so what, do all the dropzones start suing each other? The fence across the west landing area is going to be changed to accommodate the original landing space. The sky is plenty big enough for us all. Be happy.

trumanjsparks 0 #54 May 1, 2009 Chill out and feel the love, people. If the old crew wants to come back, they will. If not, then they won't. Nothing more than that should be said. Broken hearts and dirty windows make it difficult to see. That's why last night and this morning always look the same to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary73 10 #56 May 1, 2009 Quote Goodness Gary, are you ever going to bury the hatchet? I considered the hatchet buried until the aircraft logbook incident last Fall. You know what happened - would you forgive and forget if he had done that to you? Quote Monroe will be a great place whether or not you ever give it your blessing. Didn't know that I was authorized to bless things, but let me put it this way: I would boycott any business owner who did to you (or any of my other friends) what your hero did to me. Y'all can use that information any way you see fit. Quote The runway has been extended considerably in both directions. Was just out there today. Don't know where you've been getting your information , but the south end is the same as it was in '97 and the north end is the same as when the dropzone closed in '06. Quote Many of the trees in the North, East, and West areas of the airport are being removed. Making the landing area is much larger than before. Didn't see any changes there, either. Your post said that the landing area is bigger than before. Big difference between is and may eventually be. Also, a 6,000 sqft. hangar still isn't four times bigger than a 3,600 sqft. one. Quote "Skydive Atlanta", "Atlanta Skydive", "Skydive Now Atlanta" , so what, do all the dropzones start suing each other? No, but when you open a new business with a name that's so similar to an existing one, you're asking for trouble. And violating Georgia law. Trey asked him to use a different name, but Bill said that there weren't any other URLs available. ( OMG! The Internet is full!) Tell him I'll trade him skydivemonroe.com for 2319G's Airworthiness Certificate, which also "disappeared" somehow. How's that for burying the hatchet? Quote The fence across the west landing area is going to be changed to accommodate the original landing space. This also hasn't happened yet, but I hope you're right. I've seen people hit fences before: not pretty! Quote The sky is plenty big enough for us all. Be happy. I am happy. Usually at Skydive Atlanta, sometimes at The Farm, and almost always in freefall. Ever see The Great Waldo Pepper? Up there, everything's clear. It's the stuff that happens on the ground that's messy.

maadmax 0 #58 May 2, 2009 Well, when you come by to check on your plane, I hope you stop in and say "hi". I will give you a tour of the new hangar. And bring your gear, we can have a jump for old times sake. After all, you were one of my AFF Instructors there at Monroe. Bill is considering a second floor as needed. That will increase the overall floor space. Drive down Poplar Street, you can see all of the cut down trees in the North and East areas. The trees on the west side are slated to removed soon. Bill said he would like to buy your 182, any interest in selling it? Peace. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #59 May 3, 2009 Quote I'm a big believer in letting people make their own decisions, but to make good decisions you need good information. I think most people can figure out if a runway or hangar is a different size than they have seen before, or that "Skydive Now Atlanta" sounds a lot like "Skydive Atlanta" without your help. I know we're skydivers, but you might be underestimating us a bit. As for trumansparks, I know him. He's just a good vibes kinda guy.
