3 Date Approved 6PagePage pageNumber7Attachment 1 ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN A REFUND ON EQUIPMENT ORDERED , PAID FOR AND NOT RECEIVED As most of you already know , my name is Mark Huddleston who , along with Bill Betts , started and successfully ran Sparkchasers for 27 years 25 of them here at JNX before selling the business to Ron and Jenna Oetjen at the end of 2016 In 2021 Ron sold Sparkchasers to the current owner , Trey Walters with Blue Line Aviation Getting bored after retirement I began working with Inside & Out Aircraft Services and MIL2ATP in Goldsboro , servicing company aircraft used to train pilots leaving the military for positions with the airlines I appear before you today to share our frustrations in dealings with the current owner of Sparkchasers - Trey Walters - who decided it was in his best interest to cancel a good portion of 104 thousand dollar order we placed back in August and September of 2022 AND further refused to refund over fifty thousand dollars that our company had paid in advance I believe it would be in the authoritys best interest to know the relevant factsbehind our dealings with Mr Walters and how these dealings add to the already strained relations with a business you allow to operate here at JNX Our dealings with Sparkchasers began back in late July of 2022 when we searched out for quotations to upgrade a company RV8 and progressed into September when we requested pricing on equipment to upgrade some other company aircraft with Garmin avionics Incidentally , all requested equipment was available over - the - counter and did not require a Garmin dealer to install Quotations received from Sparkchasers were inline with pricing from two other local shops so I decided to go with a business I once owned WITH the added benefit to help THEM meet Garmin quota requirements to maintain their dealership The Garmin ordersfor the RV8 were placed on 28 July and were paid in full at the time of the order In late August and early September more equipment was ordered for other company aircraft and , again , paid for in full even with long lead times for delivery PagePage pageNumber8All totaled , we shelled out close to 105 thousand dollars for the multiple orders Some of this equipment was immediately available and was received in a timely manner But starting in October multiple key people at Sparkchasers began leaving , including technicians , managers and then later the office manager , who was our primary contact dealing with ordering and receiving equipment Beginning in late October we began inquiring as to the status of undelivered equipment , AND continued inquiring through the month of November with not as much as a singler returned st phone call or email to address our request On December 1 we finally received an email from Trey Walters stating he will not honor our existing orders and cancelled all remaining equipment we had on order For two weeks we pressed Trey on refunding our money - OUR MONEY MIND YOU - and on 16 December we received an email from Trey indicating he would refund only 47K out of the 51 K we were due Our owner decided to go ahead and accept his refund to get our money back , but then Trey decided to make us sign a release agreement that demanded we not publicly disclose these events I immediately questioned why we would have to sign a legal document to get our own money back Then to push our buttons further , he told me I had violated a non - compete clause after leaving Sparkchasers and all this would go away if I accepted 50 of what he initially promised to pay I immediately discontinued any further correspondence and sought out a local attorney to begin a legal means of getting our money returned In Treys defense , he has been sending me emails wanting our attorneys name but I have decided to ignore his request and let our attorney handle it It is hard to stomach that we have to hire an attorney to get OUR own money back I think you need to know the business practices of this individual and , despite all his You - Tube and Facebook videos and comments on how he has been done wrong by JNX , he surely does not practice what he preaches PagePage pageNumber9I would ask that you take this incident into account in your continued dealings with this individual If Bill and I dealt with customers in this manner I would EXPECT the airport authority to question our right to do business at this airport I can gladly share any and all documentation of these events if you have any questions as to the truth in this matter Thank you for allowing me to speak Page0MINUTES JOHNSTON COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING February 20 , 2023 The regular business meeting of the Johnston County Airport Authority was held Monday , February 20 , 2023 , via Microsoft Teams virtual conference Members were present in the conference room The meeting was called to order at 5 02PM by Chairman Starling There were present Ken Starling , Chairman John Bullock , Vice -

~ DATE February 20 , 2023 FROM Ken Starling , Chairman Johnston County Airport Authority SUBJECT Summary and Explanation Response to FAA Part 13 Determination Recently , the Federal Aviation Administration FAA sent a letter to the Johnston County Airport Authority the Authority with its response to the forty - one violations of the Airport Sponsor Grant Assurances Grant Assurances alleged by Charles Trey Walters The FAA found that there was NO VIOLATION for thirty - nine of the forty - one alleged violations The FAA did identify two instances where the Authority was allegedly not in compliance with the Grant Assurances , neither of which involved Mr Walters or his companies The first instance is that the Airport was allowing a tenant that provides twenty - four - hour emergency helicopter services to use , without any charge , the Airports fueling equipment overnight to fuel that tenants aircraft when they were needed for emergency life critical medical flights The second instance identified is that the Airport was allowing a tenant with its own fuel tanks on the airport that have been in place for the past 30 years to fuel aircraft without ensuring that tenants compliance with the Authoritys current Rules and Regulations The issues identified are easily remedied by making sure that the tenant providing emergency life critical medical services either ceases using our fuel truck for overnight emergency fueling or is charged a fee for its use of the Airports fueling equipment , and by ensuring that the tenant using its own fuel tanks is in compliance with the Authoritys current Rules and Regulations for self - fueling There was no finding by the FAA that the Authority had taken any action with respect to Mr Walters or his companies that was in violation of the Grant Assurances , and no finding that the Authority is required to undertake any remedial action with respect to Mr Walters or any of his companies There are thirty - nine Grant Assurances that cover topics ranging from the ownership of airport property , airport planning , airport operations , and compliance with a multitude of federal laws , and the Authority continually strives to make sure that it is in compliance with each of these The Authority will submit a response to the FAA that will address the two issues identified and make sure that the Authority remains in compliance with the Grant Assurances 3149 Swift Creek Road , Smithfield , NC 27577 info @ jnxairportcom Phone 9 19 934 0992 Fax 919 934 1214Page7MINUTES JOHNSTON COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING March 27 , 2023 The regular business meeting of the Johnston County Airport Authority was held Monday , March 27 , 2023 , via Microsoft Teams virtual conference Members were present in the conference room The meeting was called to order at 5 06PM by Chairman Starling There were present Ken Starling , Chairman John Bullock , Vice -
