Good reaction for those Avantair guys. Nice job.
I flew out of TRM with Avantair one day and the captain wanted me to do a run-up before departure. There isn't a run-up area and he didn't tell me he wanted a run-up until I got to the end of the taxi-way for RWY 35. I was turned towards the hold line on what I assume is A1. I did the run-up facing the runway (east) and then we departed.
Right after departure a guy on the ground called us on the CTAF and thanked us for blasting him, his plane and hangar with rocks and sand.
