Redlands can resume renting and modifying hangars built by Coyote Aviation, San Bernardino Superior Judge Thomas Garza ruled Aug. 2.
Gil Brown, owner of Coyote Aviation, filed suit June 6 to assert his ownership of the 15 hangars at the Redlands Municipal Airport. Brown built the hangars after securing a 20-year lease from Redlands in 2000. The hangar complex is valued at $3 million, according to Brown’s complaint. He was evicted following two lawsuits over the lease’s disputed end date. Brown believed he had filed to renew the lease in time, based on an email from a city representative that affirmed a later end date than the one stated in the lease. San Bernardino Superior
