Owner told to remove inoperable Cherokee 140 from Rangeley field
Summary
Commissioners reported contact with the owner of a Cherokee 140 aircraft parked at the airport; the owner has been notified and said he would attempt removal or repair, and staff noted the aircraft could be moved or sold if not removed.
Commissioners at the Rangeley Airport Commission meeting discussed a long‑parked Cherokee 140 that has been reported as unairworthy. Staff said they finally contacted the owner, who indicated a technician had been sent and that he planned to remove the aircraft.
A staff member said the owner is “under notice” and that if the owner cannot remove the airplane, the commission could relocate it; staff indicated the parent owner is in Arizona and that the owner had provided a written plan to have the aircraft removed. The chair recounted that the owner reported sending a technician and a tie‑down part, and staff said if removal is not completed soon the aircraft may need to be moved to clear space.
No formal enforcement action, sale or property disposition was voted on at the meeting. Commissioners said they want staff to continue contact with the owner to confirm the aircraft’s removal plan and timeline.
