stratostar 5 #1278 July 21, 2015 It would nice to keep this thread on topic, so that the powers that be don't get pissed off and lock this one, like another one related to the same topic. While I enjoy a good joke, like many of you, this could be an issue in your local area one day.

So everyone should just submit a complimentary comment after every jump to make sure your positive experience is included in the city management's analysis Honestly... that is not a bad thing to recommend. Flood them with how great the airport is, how glad you are that its not as loud as living by some airports could be. Maybe talk about how nice the gentlemen and ladies are that parachute from the planes way out of earshot... lots of good things talk about how you enjoyed the experience so much, you rented a room in a hotel, went out to a restaurant and bar, and then returned to the airport the next day for another experience. And you may repeat that next weekend, too.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

(At least here in the Midwest) Small, municipal airport boards are more concerned with maintaining their private little country clubs. I've seen both sides of this.... I have one of my Skydive Photos on my VISA card. When I go to any DZ, I always use this card to pay for beer, gas, food, more beer, etc. I make a point to show the card to the employee. We use to use our formation stamps (any of you old timers remember stamping out each dive?) to stamp all our dollar bills before we went into town for stuff. Locals understand the value of each and every dollar. The "Ol Boys club" at most small airports don't care about that. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Court order yesterday: http://citizensforquietskies.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20150728-Order-re-Defendants-Motion-for-Attorney-Fees.pdf Current tally: $67,791.05 costs from the trial. $47,984.41 attorney fees for the frivolous claims dismissed prior to trial. ---------- 115,775.46 = What Gibbs & lackeys owe MHS. As I read this order, it is due 30 days from yesterday, and is not affected by the current appeal. i.e. this order would need to be appealed separately.

wan2doit 6 #1295 July 30, 2015 The core idea of providing positive dz comments to airports seems to be an excellent one that all dz's might adopt as a proactive defense mechanism against any crazies in the future anywhere. Doing that, even though it may take a bit of time routinely from many who love this sport could aid in slowing down Longwood style assaults on the skydiving community. A continuous flow of this type data would create a good foundation for arguing against a similar attack from the get go - maybe nipping it in the bud the next time. Just a thought. Very nice to see them getting a bill LMAO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mirage62 0 #1297 July 30, 2015 You have to wonder of any of this group is really worried about the $165,000. Certainly they were advised by their lawyers that represented them that this was possible - perhaps likely given the combative position of KG. Truthfully this could be nothing financial to these people. A lot of that depends on how much money they raised, doesn't that have to be reported?Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #1298 July 30, 2015 QuoteCertainly they were advised by their lawyers that represented them that this was possible Change "certainly" to "hopefully, in writing, in detail, for the lawyers' own sakes". My experience is that when people with "that kind" of personality lose a dispute, they look for somebody to blame (never themselves), and then act it out as a way of mitigating their loss. That's why lawyers carry malpractice insurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fencebuster 7 #1299 July 30, 2015 Andy: I was thinking the same thing. Now having been slapped with attorney's fees on top of costs, she's definitely going to go after her own lawyers.

From the Times-Call where you posted the same, we see this reply: I'm sure Mommy (aka Nature Girl) will be along shortly to reassure us that this is just a drop in the bucket, and that money is no problem. However... Those of us who were in the courtroom for the trial saw and heard the testimony of the plaintiff's sound expert who let it leak out that his noise study was abbreviated due to lack of funds by the plaintiffs. And today on the CQS website we see a new post beginning with: "This is a difficult time for our group. The judge has awarded significant 'attorney fees' to Mile-Hi..."
