Default What would you pay?

Cause if we wanted cheap hangars, we'd have to live in some place like Iowa.

(Good comeback George!)

You could also come to Shell Lake WI (SSQ) where we have a wonderful
hard surface municipal airport with lites and instrument approaches,
and where the city and the airport manager (me) would be happy to have
aircraft owners build more private hangars @ 12 cents per sq ft per
year rent on the projected floor space area. Right now we have 11
hangars and about 13 aircraft based there - and even some hangar space
available. Tiedowns are free on the ramp for short stays. All aircaft
based there are hangared.

There is a WI personal property tax that typically runs $300 to $400
per year for a solid hangar. Like several other pilots I live across
the street from the airport & have lakeshore if I walk out the other
door. The lake is large (2500 acres), clean and deep (40 ft), and we
now have our previous flood situation under control. The city has many
other unrelated amenities.

Only downsides are no fuel (12 mi away) and no FBO, but there's no
corrosion & plenty of problem-solving local networking (and plenty of
winter too!).
