They need to be compensated for the LOSS of their aircraft ! How are the the private aircraft owners going to get them out of there with no runway to take off from ?

All hail King Daley !!

The planes will be able to take off from the taxiway, which goes the full length of the runway. While a skillful pilot could take off from that taxiway, the crosswinds that prevail there would generally prevent someone from landing on the taxiway. Once all the planes are gone, they'll dig up that taxiway, too. Failing that, they can barge them over to the lakeshore, dismount the wings, and move them by truck.
