Mile Hi Skydiving Wins New Lease Despite Neighborhood Complaints

LONGMONT, Colo. (CBS4)- The Longmont City Council has approved a new lease for Mile-Hi Skydiving despite complaints about noise from the neighborhood.

Mile-Hi has operated out of Vance Brand Airport in Longmont for nearly 20 years.

People who live nearby had filed a lawsuit over the company's Twin Otter plane. They claimed it created excessive noise.

The residents, who acknowledge they live near an airport, have been trying to get a judge to force the company to use a quieter plane.
