The only problem that I have is that putting together a hanger at my airport requires me to get the building engineered, and I have to make the airport board happy, which is tough because they want the new bifold door steel buildings. they are expensive. They seem to want a whole row put in rather than onesy twosy.

Yes. It is obvious that the folks with these inexpensive hangars arenot from California metropolitan areas! At Oceanside airport near myhome, the hangars are in terrible condition. The roofs leak, doors arerusted through etc. The roof is so unstable it isn't safe to walk upthere to repair the leaks. These hangars still cost about $300 permonth. Forget about building your own hangar or cover on the airport,the city would never approve it. That seems to be typical in San DiegoCounty. The only problem that I have is that putting together a hangerat my airport requires me to get the building engineered, and I haveto make the airport board happy, which is tough because they want the newbifold door steel buildings. they are expensive. They seem to want a wholerow put in rather than onesy twosy. Bummer. Stevee________________________________________________________________________________

I was very impressed with the hangers at Brodhead. They are all similar in appearance. I was wondering if the municipality or local airport authority builds them and leases them or is there some other way they are regulated. Owner built to standard on leased airport property? We have many ex WW11 airfields in western Canada but hanger space is expensive or non exsistant. I had thought of two retired forty foot semi trailers, minus undercarriage, spanned with rafters. One van could be a workshop and the other my home after AIDS* becomes terminal.AIDS- Aviation Induced Divorce SyndromeJ Mc ;-)________________________________________________________________________________
