### with Mr. Bill Honeycutt Sr. atJ.d the ChiefPilot. 

### We waited for Mike Honeycutt (Director ofOperations) to anive

### before starting the investigation. Mike arrived a.pproximate]y 30 minutes later. Additionally; InspectorFrank Schaefer (PMI) arrived also to participate. 2. l 

### opened the 

### discussion with

### for acopy ofthe complai.:o.t. I 

### responded thathe would have to requestthe complaint

· through FOIA. He stated 

### he was looking for 

### the complainant's name. I asked Mike; 

### ''did

N90LJ make a flight 

### on. May 3''.

### destroyed th.e GPU by attaching

## it to his 

### personal truck at 7 am that

### morning ofMay 3 

### (afterthe aircraftdeparted at 4 am) to teach the pilots 

### alesson. Mike explained hetold

### the pilots thathe would pttt the N90IJ 

### on the ramp, refuel it, 

### and hook the GPU 

### up 

### to it

### so the pilots did not have to worry about it in the early morning. He further advised thepilots notto leave on the main hanger powerturned on and hooked up to the GPU because 

### it

### would cause damage to 

### the Power un1t in th,e hanger. Mike 

### stated when he an;ved 

### at 7 am 

### on May 3rd, where

### he noticed the GPU 

### was not where he left it. 

### He suspected thepilots taxied outto the

### Calledn 

### the pilots when they reached

### their destination and told them that
