That Antigua Sun article pretty much sums it up. The company has been asking for years to move the helicopter away from the airport fence. Both to keep it out of view and to keep it safe. (it was parked VERY close to the fence, which is right by the main road)
We always got the answer that there is no room anywhere on the airport that can be used...none whatsoever. Well, when this happened, the top brass of the airport had a special meeting on short notice..on a sunday..and came up with the solution that we could park it in the exact spot we have been asking for...
funny how things like this happen...
A couple of weeks before this we got called to fly for a drug deal that went bad, and we found one of the main guys...in what the newspapers called a notorious gang on st. maarten. Coincidence?
The word on the street while we had the repairs done was that I was to scared to fly anymore. And the word from the airport Fire-Rescue people is that I SHOULD be to scared to fly....
Oh well.
