City Airport Problem

Wondering how many others have had this problem with a city-run airport.

City gets new insurance carrier and conducts a hanger inspection
including
various "code enforcement" types.

Or city lawyer gets bug up ass worrying about liability

Get this one!

Hickory NC has the base for the NC Forestry Dept CL 215 (water bomber
amphibian), and in the off season, they tear the whole thing down, engines
included, and give it a good "going over."

The building does not have some things in place (sprinkler system included,
I think) to be qualified to house these types of activities. For the whole
time that this tear down is going on, they have to hire a guy (a retired
forestry service friend of mine) to babysit the airplane, all night long.
That makes it legal, then. He cleans parts, and hangs out.

What a system we have going on, in the US, huh?
