“So I would not want to serve on this ad hoc. The airport is probably the least familiar area of the city for me, so I would want that expertise to go to people who have that. But I do have a question. From what I'm being told, our hangars are already gone. They're already being used in long-term leases. How do we get these new planes, once we bring them in, into hangars if we don't have any?”
