Dear Bud,
In regards to your Letter concerning the heLicopter which
Landed on the jet ramp on 9-1-86. First of aLL, I personaLLy
was not here at the time. We had one person on duty at the time
and he felt he should have the helicopter Land as cLose to us
as possibLe so he couLd keep an eye on the business. tde wiLL do
our best to keep helicopters off this jet ramp. We wiLL however
use our jet ramp when we are understaffed, which at this time of
the year we usualLy are due to Lack of business. Our ramp was
the originaL Landing area for heLicopters, and is quite convenient
for aLL concerned. An exampLe of how helicopters operate at other
airports, Boise: They request an FB0 with which they wouLd Like
to Land and they fly right up to the facility. 1 heleive there
asphaLt is the same as ours but they don't seem to have any
probLems with damage to it. 1 realize that the Larger heLicopters
will divit the asphalt and should use the helipad, especiaLLy
during hot weather when it is soft, but as far as the smaLLer
ones go, they don't do any damage.
Another thing, I was reaLLy disapointed that I was not informed
nor invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the airport.
We must not mean much to the operation of this airport.
We do operate the unicorn for the city without pay, however, we
have been criticized occasional)/ but never even thanked.
