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!). |
