Here's a very nice report from our local CBS affiliate (KRQE-13) on
soaring at Moriarty, NM. It also features Bob Carlton's BonusJet!
Enjoy!

The rotary hangar has been thought of before but I can't remember who
has one. *Maybe it's Ed Byars? *Also, I think there was an article in
SOARING about it some years back?

The 'carousel' hangar is indeed a neat idea and if I were building a
hangar, that design would be at the top of the list. Any glider can
be rolled out without disturbing the others. However, it has a
drawback. For a given floor area, it will only hold about half as
many gliders as an open hangar stuffed by an expert so in comparison,
its an expensive solution.
