The phone call to the insurance company probably wasn't one they expected for a skydive plane. Damage to the parked Osprey is a Class A incident (exceeds 2 Million).

The military uses civilian airports all the time for cross country training and aircraft repositioning. I'll bet the Marines are re-thinking where they park their assets at this airport - if they ever decide to use it again.
