[rec.skydiving] Phoenix vs. Skydive City

While attending the Easter Boogie at Skydive City a few weeks ago, I
remember seeing several campaign signs scattered around Zepherhills
that read "Vote KABELLER for Town Council".  The rumor going around
the campfire was that George Kabeller was attempting to secure a
position in the Town Council specifically to put pressure on Skydive
City and force them out of business.
 
If I remember correctly, the polling date was sometime last week. 
Does anyone know if George won ?
 
On the lighter side:  Scotty Carbone came up with a creative way of
expressing his feelings regarding the tension between the two drop
zones. Scotty's plan called for a sunset formation load made up of
one DC-3 from Phoenix and one from Skydive City.  Thirty-five
skydivers from each drop zone would link together in freefall to form
a giant peace symbol.  The jumpers would land on neutral territory
and have a big party.  Unfortunately (to my knowledge) this jump was
never made ..... maybe at the Turkey Boogie.
