As a Commercial/Instrumented rated pilot and former Air Traffic Controller ( Class of '81 ) I think you are spot on with your plan to start a jump school at LCI. Not to say that jumping out of a perfectly good and running is my excitement of choice, I applaud those with the cajones to do so.
I do feel that your statements about thee impact on the local economy are somewhat overstated, but I totally agree that the impact on the airport operations will be minimal.
Welcome to the Lakes Region...sounds to me like your business plan is well thought out and viable. But don't look for me to be a client! Rather, I'll be the guy in the parking lot pointing out the jumpers to my grandchildren!
Just curious...what will you be using for a jump plane?
BTW, I am also a graduate of DWC, but I suspect a decade or 2 before Mrs. Noonan!!
