Tom (2G), Call me on my cell 407-325-6500. You are dead wrong and I will put you in direct contact with Mihai and his local attorney. Mihai was released from detention in February of 2018 (I have a copy of the release). Your comments about Seminole-Lake are inaccurate and harmful. I would like to prove, beyond any doubt, that Mihai has no legal issues with the government of Romania or the US. If you do not want to find out the truth, then we will seek other remedies to fix the harm you are bringing to our business.

I would like to thank all the pilots that have stood up for Seminole-Lake Gliderport. We have had more contests, XC Camps, and promoted soaring at Sun n Fun more than any other commercial operation in the US. We are active on the SSA Board of Directors, the Rules Committee and our local pilots mentor many new XC and contest pilots every season. Our business is successful, growing, and supporting every facet of the sport. We certainly could do better, but we try every year to improve. It is very frustrating to be the subject of false statements from another soaring pilot. I will keep all of you informed of my discussions with Tom, but it is better to be handled off line.

Best Regards, Rich

Thank you Rich for your service to the soaring community and for your service to the United States.
Jon
