Aloha,

Rob Moore replied to the topic Closing of Dillingham in the forum Aviation Legistation 4 years, 8 months ago

We need to keep writing in the newspaper NOT to close HDH

Rob Moore replied to the topic Closing of Dillingham in the forum Aviation Legistation 4 years, 9 months ago

From Pat McNamee, President of GACH:

The General Aviation Council of Hawaii (GACH) is very saddened to hear about the recent Dillingham accident and the loss to the aviation community. Our hearts go out to the families and friends that were affected by this tragedy. The closing of an airfield because of accidents is akin to closing our highways…[Read more]

Rob Moore replied to the topic Closing of Dillingham in the forum Aviation Legistation 4 years, 9 months ago

If you have any recent stories on how DOTA hurt you or GA I need to use them in a summary to HI Sen Gil Riviere. He would like to use this information to build examples on how DOTA unfairly treats HI GA. Gil is fired up and is a friend to GA (and HDH). I would hate to lose his momentum. Anything you can provide me this weekend would be greatly…[Read more]

No idea. I am a single signature in a business of one with NO VIOLATIONS. I emailed back WHY and who is paying for parking–no reply yet (no surprise).

Rob Moore replied to the topic Hawaii Tour Helicopter Operations in the forum Aviation Legistation 5 years, 7 months ago

It appears the local helicopter group has not stepped up to talk to the local community to solve the concerns. If they do not, I fear the legislatures will resolve the problem and not necessarily in aviation’s favor. I asked our AOPA representative and our Hawaii Aviation Causus chair to host a meeting to discuss this. I am hoping it happens bu…[Read more]
