Me too. But I'm not qualified to even hold an opinion. I've never observed the traffic at the airport (other than what I see when driving past it infrequently), and I've not seen any good video or statistics on the sort of landings that Skydive Laconia is proposing.
However, it appears that this is not an uncommon practice and is certainly not a new idea. If I had to place a bet on one side or the other, I would guess that it is much much safer than it sounds.
It would be nice if the people making the determinations on this actually put a moderate level of effort into their decisions and did not simply rely on their own speculations and assumptions.
