I took in a feral cat over 6 years ago. He lives in the hangar. I put in a 'doggy door' so he can come and go as he pleases. I put a heat lap over his bed on the wing of the plane. No more mice and a 'buddy' when I work at the hangar.

Local drone club wanted to photo a smoke stack about 1.4 miles off end of the runway...couldn't find airport manager to try to get permission to do so, so they left a note on the office window that they were going to do it. And they did....how could incoming planes know of this? Then they had...
