Hangar rent

Ray Andraka wrote:

IIRC, it went from $50/mo to $85/mo in 1992 or 1993, and back then the ramp
plowing was random. Sometimes it would be plowed pretty close to the
airplane, others you'd have to shovel out a 50' path between the airplane and
the shovelled lane. $110/mo is ridiculous. Even PVD, which doesn't want us
there, is only $52/mo for tiedowns, and they'll often do what they can to
stuff you in a hangar if there is severe weather predicted.

PVD is only $52/month in a class C. Our club pays 95/month for tiedown
at a non-towered airport 4B8 in Plainville CT and 65/month at MMK in
Meriden CT. I guess they are making it up on the new RI landing fees.

Depends on what part of the country you're in.

Mine is a T-hanger with a dirt floor, free electric and manual doors that
are a bear to open and close. The hangar is damp of course, but not too
bad.

When we first secured it the rent was 240.00 and no lease. A few months
later it went up to 280.00 and no lease. Just last month we got our fuel
bill and the hangar rent went up again to 300.00 and the owner refuses to
give us a lease.

That's a 60.00/mo. increase in less than a year. The rumor has it that the
owner is going to keep raising the rent until people start moving out and
there are a few empty hangars. At that point he feels they will be priced
properly.

My question is: at what price would you walk out of a dirt floor T-hangar
with free electric and stiff manual doors? There are no other local
airports with similar hangars that are empty. A tie-down goes for 65.00/mo.

I've heard that the hangar rental at TTN - Trenton, NJ - just went from
$365/month to around $500/month.

Too steep for me!

He is correct.

That's up to you, not us.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

$192 per month for a T hangar with electric bifold door that stops on it's
own at full open and close.. Floor is concrete and electric is included.

As someone else said $300 is about the going price in NJ... I'm
up at 47N... One of my hangars is an end unit in an open hangar...
Previous tenent put in some recycled paving material so it is a little
better than a dirt floor.. Leaks like crazy... Worse since the hurricane...
Manual doors... Mine have been worked on and work fairly well... $300...
Other hangar is a good T with block walls and full floor... Only minor leaks
and great manual doors... $300...

At University Park, PA, rent for a T-hangar just big enough for a
Cherokee, macadam floor, manual doors, is $159/month.

You'll hate it when I tell you that the City just jacked our hangar rent
10%...to $121.00 per month.

That's a partial concrete (directly under the plane) floor, with pea gravel
everywhere else (which we've covered with astroturf), and a manual door.
We've got a window, the only one in the row, cuz we're on the end cap --
which gives us 33% more space than a "regular" T-hangar.

Electricity is "all you can use" (no one has ever blown a fuse yet), and
we've installed a little kitchenette (with fridge, freezer, microwave, and,
of course, blender), porta-potty, and dining area. Two couches, shelves and
a workbench round it out.

The only downside? The taxiway is breaking up, and there's no money in the
city budget to fix it.

Shoot. At that price y'all oughta take up a collection from the
hanger renters to fix the taxiway. You wouldn't wan the city to get
ideas after all...

T-hangar, crumbling concrete floor, electric bi-fold door. I pay the
guy with the lease $135/mo to keep my plane there. He keeps his
various odds and ends where the plane isn't. The entire rent is
around $270. 2v2, Longmont, CO. 10 miles NE of Boulder.

My question is: at what price would you walk out of a dirt floor T-hangar
with free electric and stiff manual doors? There are no other local

Depends on what the alternative is. If the only practical one
available is outside tiedown, they'd really have me by the short hairs
and could command a pretty high premium. Not sure what the dollar
figure would be that would cause me to bail. Guess I don't want to
contemplate it.
