There Joe, fixed it for you.

As for the DC-3 thing, the County Code Enforcement Officer apparently lied and as far as I know any and all charges where dropped. He was doing an engine run and compass swing. He asked her to move back, she did, so he taxied his airplane to where it needed to be parked.

Her story was "her tried to run over me with an airplane." As you surely would understand, no one would want to wreck their restored classic aircraft into a vehicle.

The locals had been trying to run "large" airplanes off the airport since someone crashed the DC4 and blew the Piggly Wiggly to smithereens. The City had allowed building within the runway clear zone and when they failed to shut down the entire airport they went after the operators of "big" airplanes as a safety hazard.
