  1. Thanks so much!!!!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  2. All of this has been done. But, you are very thorough! Quite impressive!!!!!!! Mike has all of his t/o landing numbers and we are observers to the others. There is no way they are doing 86 per day. There are only about 7-10 hangers on the property. Trent Lott did get federal funds to expand the runway from 6500 to, I think, 8500, to accomodate commercial flights. Do you really think Southwest Airlines wants to land in Moss Point, Mississippi? I am all for the airport growing, but I want it to grow through honesty. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  3. Considering I saw 0 take offs today, I am thinking that Moss Point will have to do 172 tomorrow. It's supposed to be thunderstorms tomorrow, so if they don't make the 172, then on Tuesday, they will need to make 258. Soon, Moss Pont will be busier than O'Hare. Ummmm...does somebody smell dirty politics bilking federal tax dollars? ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  4. We are up to $500. Thanks so much to everyone. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  5. Not that I saw. Also, I want to make a correction in my previous post. Trent Lott was NOT Speaker of the House. He was a former Senate Majority Leader. Ahh, I feel better.
  6. Correction: Former Senate Majority Leader. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

  9. If you go to the Donations to Gold Coast thread on Bonfire, you will see that William set up a PayPal account for Mike yesterday morning. So far, $400 has been donated to the Protectgoldcoast@yahoo.com PayPal account. Either PayPal account will be fine if you want to donate. Many people have donated and we thank you a lot. Mike has contact with former speaker of the house, Trent Lott, and is committed to fighting the good fight. Thanks for all of your help. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

You will have to park at the airport office parking lot, but the dropzone will be OPEN tomorrow and Sunday!!!!!!!! Come out to support the DZ and write the congressmen. Thanks so much!!!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  16. Even though Jim Jenkins is Gulf Region Director, MP8, Jim's 8-way team, is out of Gold Coast. Jim was there for testimony yesterday. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  17. Numerous people have been contacting me about this, so here it is... If anyone wants to donate to Igo's fund, William has set up a PayPal account at protectgoldcoast@yahoo.com. If you need instructions on how to send monies to a PayPal account, you can contact William at wbrightwell@yahoo.com. Also, you can always call the dropzone at 1-800-796-7117 to purchase a jump ticket. They are $20 each. Any help would be much appreciated by Mike. Remember, your dropzone could be next. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  18. The airport put padlocks on the gates to Gold Coast. This is ILLEGAL according to Mike Igo's lawyer and Mike will be cutting the locks so we can jump this weekend. We need to stand up for our sport or this could happen at your DZ, too. Come to Gold Coast this weekend whether you want to jump or not. Show your support. Also, please write your and Mississippi's congressmen. I posted the Mississippi congressmen's names, phone and fax numbers, and email addresses under the other Gold Coast post. PLEASE HELP US!!!! We need a BIG showing tomorrow. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  19. Please email all of the following your thoughts. Please make sure they are well-thought through, no curse words, professional, and helpful to the cause. Also note that the airport is called Trent Lott International Airport, so it is important to contact Trent's democratc counterparts as well as his Republican buddies. They need to know what is going on. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! We can do this together!!!!

  20. As long as we don't disrupt other pilots, we cannot be denied access to the lounge. The FAA considers skydivers pilots, so we have a right to the lounge. If they lock the doors, I say we pack on on the front lawn and hang out in the pilot's lounge between jumps. I would love to see them try to kick us out if we are complying by the rules. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  21. Sup, Jacob. I have heard of a bunch of other people coming but they just aren't posting here. Looks like just the Otter for $10. Trey decided not to bring his King Air. * No registration fee * $10 jumps * Free RV hook-ups * Good people That's all I need for a boogie, so I'll be there. .....................................................................

  23. I was on Phyllis' computer and she was missing a lot of characters on the right side of her computer. It was weird. But I have full use of my Ps and apostrophes now. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
