My understanding is the airport manager told HCS that
they couldn't operate without business insurance. Apparently,
it was precipitated by an incident involving the HCS
oxygen cart and a taxiing aircraft.

It's a pity -- Tom and Bill have been ornaments to
the sport for so long.

Yes!! It's true After 22yrs and 25yrs on the airport HCS has closed
the doors. But NOT because of insurance, But for the last few years
the lack of business AND the NEW airport policy's and management. Al
L. and I have decided to close it down. I can no longer take the
stress on this airport. HCS is up For Sale and hopefully it will have
a new owner. I have moved in to town and have opened a new shop, I
will still be buying/selling and working on gliders. I will still be
hosting the Ely soaring camps in the years to come. I would like to
thank ALL of you for supporting HCS over the years.
