Where can I see what Mark Miller said about Navy Helicopters?

Here’s the only article I can find right now that mentions what he had to say:

quote:

“I met her here,” says Killilea, as he stands at the white picket fence surrounding the runway.

He and settlement Administrator Mark Miller met the State Department of Health Director at the airport Wednesday morning.

Fuddy was on official business. Her title automatically makes her the honorary Mayor of the town. And while the visit was work-related, she also had time to do a little sightseeing with her Deputy Director, Keith Yamamoto.

“I took her by the beach,” says Miller, who says two whales were spouting and spinner dolphins were putting on a show for the group. They also visited the grave site of Father Damien and met with Hansen’s Disease patients who still live in the town of about 100. At a town hall meeting, Fuddy listened to the concerns of the residents.

Then she and Yamamoto caught the last flight out of Kalaupapa, about three-thirty in the afternoon.

Correct me, if needs be. It sounds like Miller can’t tell the difference between Navy and Coastguard. If there is a difference. And it seems he wasn’t at the airport when the aircraft took off. He says the plane was the last to leave at 3.30, and that’s the time the airport office shuts its doors. Did they hang around to watch the aircraft clear the runway? Doesn’t sound like it. When it’s time to go home, slam the door and they’re off.

Who took Yamamoto and Fuddy to the airport? Was it Miller himself and he would rather not talk about it? He doesn’t sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer to me.

“Miller called it fortunate that a military aircraft was doing touch and goes at the Kalaupapa airport around the time of the crash and reported the accident. Coast Guard and Maui County Fire Rescue personnel arrived in about 20 minutes and started the rescue operation, said Miller.”
