Laurent,
I'm based at Wings, LOM, just outside Philly. I waited almost a year to
get a hanger. It's not much of a hanger. Just a long building with no
doors and no walls between aircraft. I don't have to move any planes to
get my plane out and it keeps the sun and the rain off. For me, keeping
the sun off the fabric is very important. I'm thrilled to have it.

I have to say that the people that work there have been great to deal
with, line guys, FBO owner, mechanics. The FBO is first class. There's
always free coffee and other goodies. There are two computers with high
speed internet access and a wifi setup for you to use your own laptop if
you want. Right now they have a fuel promotion called wacky wednesdays -
50 cents off a gallon for avgas. They just sent me a coupon for
additional savings on fuel for anyday but wednesday. They're really
making a huge effort to promote the airport, FBO and flight school.

There are several other small airports in the Philly area. I expect that
finding a hanger won't be easy but you never know. A friend moved to
Wings about 6 months before me and got a hanger right away.

Dave,

Forgive me for "thread jumping" but since you're in the Philly area:

Back in the mid '80's I tried to get started in flying and took a couple of
lessons at an airport that I seem to recall went by the name of "Shannon" or
something like it.

Of course life, etc got in the way and the flight training got back burnered
until Feb of this year.

IIRC, it was to the south and west of Philly out beyond West Chester.

Does this ring a bell at all?

It was so long ago, that I have lost that early beginners logbook and I
can't even come up with an airport identifier, sorry.

Thanks
