Default Repaving evicts us from our hangar?

That's what I used when the runway at the airport where the airplane I
was flying was being reconstructed.
Some people got upset and said it wasn't permitted but couldn't back up
what they were saying with any regulation.


At our airport, they backed it up with parked earth moving equipment.


We've had ramp and taxiway repaving and runway repaving (different
projects)

They told us it might be a month, but they did the taxiways and ramp
in stages. I was out of the hangar for slightly less than a week when
they did one part and only a couple of days when they did the taxiway
right in front of the hangar.

Previous manager got bent out of shape when some pilots landed on one
of the taxiways and reported them. FAA said, "no problem" just try to
do it when he isn't watching." :-)) As we use the grass between the
taxiway and run way on a regular basis with tail draggers, landing on
the taxiway is no problem either...as long as no one is actually using
it as a taxiway at the time.
