normiss 620 #1903 October 6, 2017 Maybe she's angry because she was in rotation at the DZ? That's a troubling thought to be honest. Not that being in DZ rotation is the troubling part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirage62 0 #1904 October 6, 2017 Now I CAN emotional close this thread. I'm frankly glad she had to pay BUT I don't think she is over with any of this. Her dad (it seems) funded her payment? If so she'll just keep going....and going.....and going. What a sad life.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

grimmie 173 #1906 October 7, 2017 TrafficdiverI've said this before in this thread and I'll say it again. This is not about her being bothered by an airplane. This is about a leftist using the government to destroy a legitimate business. Her and all of her supporters are far left wing activists. This is really a fight about free market capitalism. How odd. When I opened Oceanside I was fought by the right wing faction of the city council. Politics isn't in play here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've lived there since Jan. 1, 1993. The noise from the planes that the jumpers use on the weekends is out of control. This past Sunday was the last straw, they buzz my home every 20 minutes as they leave Vance Brand Airport then circle around my home again to gain altitude. They started at 7:30 a.m. and ended when the weather got bad. On a nice day they will go until sunset. This cannot continue. They've ruined my Saturdays and Sundays at home. They have a right to be in business but not to take away the sanctity of my home. I do not live near the airport. What if I went to the owner's home and flew a drone over it every 20 minutes? I'm sure the cops would be called for harassment. Why isn't this considered harassment? This past Sunday they were running two planes at once. It's just unbelievable. How can they be allowed to do this? I've called and talked to the people who answer, who I will say are very nice, but nothing ever changes. If my dog barked excessively, or my music was too loud or I rode my motorcycle up and down the street every 20 minutes, I'm sure the sheriff would be at my home. I don't know what to do, I'm getting desperate. The Longmont City Council doesn't seem to care, the airport manager apparently doesn't, and the owners of the Mile High Skydiving apparently don't. I have lived in my home for almost 30 years. These guys showed up around 2007, I think. We as a community need help.

ryoder 1,380 #1911 October 9, 2017 obelixtim This will be a CQS scrote renewing the attack. The editor needs to close this correspondence. Yes, just another proxy-complainer for Gibbs. Since she doesn't even live in Longmont, (or even near an airport), she uses grumps who actually have a Longmont address to make complaints. According to some googling, this guy is in his 60's and lives 1.5 miles South of the city limits, (the airport is on the West side), which puts him 4 miles from the airport."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

mr2mk1g 10 #1913 October 10, 2017 So... are they going to have an annual Kim Gibbs memorial boogie from now on? You know, bring in a couple of nice quiet skyvans or something and attract 100's of jumpers from around the country to spend all weekend jumping.

Didn't the judge order everyone to play nice from now on? top Newspapers - and all the media for that matter - are in the business of exploiting titillating stories for advertising dollars. Nothing more, nothing less. The editors of this newspaper don't see this as giving an overplayed nutjob exposure beyond her relevance. They see it as a way to keep the story alive in hopes of selling their increasingly irrelevant product. It's important to understand that much of the general public sees the news as news. Many (most?) in the media see the general public as useful idiots who keep their paychecks coming.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
