Outrageous City Hangar Rule

[Jon Woellhaf]

Last week, my name finally rose to the top of the shade hangar list at South
Valley Regional Airport (U42) in West Jordan, Utah. U42 is a few miles south
of Salt Lake International (KSLC).

When we went to see the airport manager to sign the contract and get our
badges, he told us an interesting story:

When they built new hangars a few years ago, the city became concerned about
the possibility of fire, so some official proposed a rule that all aircraft
be defueled before entering a hangar!

Fortunately, someone with a little sense vetoed the proposal.

I wonder if the same idiot defuels his car before putting it
into a garage.
