Sounds like a right palaver Mike, I haven't got there yet, thanks for the heads-up.

Ft. Rucker is a main US Army Helicopter training field and KOZR is nearby and I think probably sees a lot of heli traffic too - that's mostly what Army Aviation is all about. It sounds as if the boys in Orlando are trying to make it rotary-wing friendly or maybe are making available to users work they've done under contract for someone else - ahem... We're not their primary market, but we can expect to get over time some of what they do under contract to others. It's hard to see a loser here.
