I also concluded that the FAA has significantly more knowledge about this than anyone on any local NH board. If it works for the FAA, it works for me.
I do not pay taxes to Gilford. I pay much more that my share to Laconia. However, this well-thought-out skydiving proposal has a regional impact, as it brings revenue into our area. It is time to look at what has been non-traditional revenue sources to support our local towns. Gone are the days of sticking uncontrolled, local expenses mainly on the backs of out-of-state property owners.
Who do these small thinkers on the Gilford Board of Selectmen think they are fooling? The Ames Farm thinking on their part is/was a mess, and now this! Please, if you are a Giilford Selectman, get the town out and fix the potholes and leave these issues to the proper federal authorities that are more to think and make fair decisions. Your kangaroo court antics are getting tired! If you want a fair discussion, let both sides of the argument be heard. This is the USA, even in your little world of Gilford, NH.
For the record, I have no desire to jump out of a perfectly air capable aircraft and I have not met and do I know the Noonans. I just have had it with the small-brain thinking I see all too often around this area, an area where I have a significant, but dwindling, real estate investment.

WOW! Did you ever hit the nail on the head, over here!
Everyone knows that Laconia Airport is FAA funded and as such, under a very clearly defined obligation in the Noonan's favor. Now that the Gilford "Selectmen, and very few others" have gotten involved publicly, to continue to Stonewall and hoard the Airport to themselves, they may find that they were instrumentally responsible for losing FAA funding, and may have to find part time jobs to foot the entire bill... Does anyone know the state of Gilford's taxes today?
The Noonan's are Saints, in my view in that they have shown such patience and resolve in this matter.
I'm here for Ya,
Terry
