Re: Recent Concerns 

Dear Russ: 

What started as an annoyance a few weeks ago is now bordering on harassment. I'm breaking 

my silence because, whereas previously this behavior had been targeted toward (and therefore 

largely confined to) only FlightLevel personnel, it's now affecting our customers directly and I 

have to draw the line there. 

I've attached to this letter an email from Mike Peavey, a long-time tenant and excellent customer 

of ours who has run a successful helicopter business, Ariel Productions, at the airport for years. 

Everyone who knows him will tell you he's also a terrific human being who works well with 

others and quietly goes about his business. Needless to say, the run-in he had a few days ago did 

not sit well as he made clear to us immediately after the fact -- and rightly so in my opinion. I'll 

let his email speak for itself, however, I don't think anybody should have to put up with what he 

had to - period, let alone in a hangar which serves as his place of work and which he pays good 

money to occupy. 

The sudden proliferation of these types of instances has to stop. It started with the baseless 

aircraft parking I GPU accusations following the news of the new NAC appointments and has 

now evolved to this (with many other incidents in between). It's gotten beyond ridiculous. 

Showing up unannounced again and again to police other people's business doesn't bode well for 

anyone. It creates a culture of intimidation, especially when the perpetrator flaunts a position of 

authority. And when it persists, it looks an awful lot like a witch hunt. I'm writing this letter 

because it has persisted, it's becoming a serious distraction, and now it's affecting our customers 

and, by extension, our business. I know I don't need to speculate as to what the angle and motive 

is behind all this and I'd like to avoid getting embroiled in a drawn-out pissing match if possible. 

But above all, and the point of this letter, is that it has to stop. The sooner it does, the sooner we 

can get back to focusing all of our efforts toward more productive ends. 

Please feel free to forward this on to Chairman Wynn or the Board of Selectmen and I'd 

certainly welcome a dialogue with anyone interested in helping to resolve this. 

Sincerely and Respectfully, 

Peter Eichleay- FlightLeve/ Aviation- President

Subject: Olden Hughes visit 

Hi Mike, 

I was coming downstairs this afternoon form the loft, when Chris Donovan called out to me from outside 

the locked door. Since I've known Chris and he and I normally have no issues, I opened the door, he 

said he just wanted to show this guy, introduced as Olden Hughes, the upstairs, the ceiling is thin and I 

make an effort to not stomp around since it makes noise downstairs, so i suspect they heard me 

upstairs . Since Chris has an ever changing workforce, I just assumed it was a new employee that 

needed to see the fuses boxes or something .. When he asked who owned all the stuff upstairs, I some 

left over from the Wiggins days and some belongs to me. The walked to the back near the fuses boxes 

and then pointed out to Chris a couple of holes in the walls open to the outside, which I found odd and 

really none of his business. 

When we came downstairs, he then took it upon himself to walk past me and into my hanger for a look 

around .... it was at that point, Chris decided to mention that he, Olden Hughes, had just been appointed 

to the airport commission .. 

I then called Mark Raymond to ask what the deal was and he mentioned I should notify Mike Delaria, 

which i did, Mark said he would bring Russ up to speed on what had transpired. 

Questions or comments, please let me know.
