Galpin Motors now stores hundreds of new vehicles on some of the ramp areas. Syncro and airport officials had been working for more than a year to make earthquake repairs to the Syncro hangar, as well as an adjoining hangar that has been vacant since 1994. The city earlier agreed to permit Syncro, which subleases portions of its hangar for filming, to remain while repairs were underway. Syncro attorney Douglas D. Winter criticized the board's action, saying the company had been in negotiations with the city to remain. Winter said the company reached an agreement with the city in May for a 10-year lease.
City officials maintain it was a tentative deal that was never formally approved. .
