As I understand it, they picked a day when there were no jets on the field and figured the small planes could be taken apart and trucked out.  In the end they got "approval" to use the taxiway.  Approval from whom, I don't know - it was no longer an airport!

Hi All,

I was reading up about Meigs Field in the latest AOPA magazine and it mentioned that 16 aircraft were stranded after they dug up the runways. How did they get them out? Did they take off on the taxi-ways?
