The $250/mo is a good price for the northeast.


In my experience, that's a true statement.

Couldn't you find an easier place to deal with at one of the several
airports nearby?

Not if I want to be in a hangar. OQU is closer, but has no available
hangar space. They have some grandfathered tenant built hangars, but
there is a moratorium on building new, and the ones that are there are
to be condemned for airport reconstruction within the next few years, so
buying an existing owner out isn't a financially viable solution.
Newport is the next closest, again, no hangars available, 10 year
waiting list. North Central is next, with about a 40 minute drive.
There is a new hangar there, but I think it is privately owned and
targetted for bizjets (and priced accordingly).

The problem is the atmosphere here is not very GA friendly, and no one
is going out of their way to put up hangars for small planes at anything
approaching an affordable price. The state owns all 7 airports, and
isn't allowing any new private T hangars on any.

Sounds a lot like where I'm based, but change the state from RI to CT. G
