There's no such thing anywhere near central NJ. Community hangars run about
$325/month and T-hangars are over $400. Even at that, waiting lists are common,
so prices continue to go up


I keep forgetting. I live in Western Canada, in a small prairie town
not far from the Rockies, with a small municipal airport. I paid $1000
for my hangar; it's old and leaks a bit, but keeps the airplane
relatively safe. Taxes are about $70 per year. I work at the airport
and can go flying before work, at lunch or after work. I can ride my
bicycle 2 1/2 miles to work.
I feel sorry for the guys who are faced with huge tiedown fees,
never mind even bigger hangar fees. I suppose that's the "benefit" of
living in a heavily populated area where incomes for many are high
enough to drive prices out of reach for the rest. Noise, pollution,
crime, the mad commute...sure hope I don't ever have to go back to
that...
