 |
|
THE hangar that I've always wanted came available this year, and it happened to still be available when my name was called on the hangar list! Got it!
I've also had a visitor use it overnight already! Kerry Fores, of Sonex Aircraft, and Sonex builder, was on his way to Sun N Fun on Thursday this week...I've known him for a couple years now, but he is good friends with my friend Jim Cunningham, so that's the main connection to Kerry using my hangar for the night.
Anyway, I thought this was a good way of making my hangar announcement...with a Sonex!

Chad,
Congratulations! Another milestone checked off. When do you anticipate the big move?

I keep thinking sometime in June or July...but I just may move the project out there sooner. The more I think about doing cowl work in the garage, the less enthused I am about it. We'll see...It'll be out there sometime in the next couple of months.
The nice thing is since I work at the airport, I can just head straight to the hangar after work, and actually pick up an extra half hour to an hour of work time...but then on the weekends, it means I have to make a trip out there...tho it's only 12 minutes. Convenience during the week...not so much on the weekends. Nice to be "in the hangar"...lack of a TV for Cardinal games.  Six of one, half dozen of the other...

You can always pick up the games on the radio and think about flying down to see the Cards when the plane is built. I'm 15 minutes from the stadium if you ever need a place to stay...

Is it just me, or are you wearing your belt up around your armpits?  Just playin'! Congrats on the new aquisition! I peek at the hangars nearby, and hope that there will be one available when the time comes, and at a reasonable price. Right now they're all going for $140-160K

EEEERRTT!! Let me stop you right there!  That is NOT me in that pic...it's my friend Jim (Sonex builder)...I'm BEHIND the camera!
WHOA! $140-160k for a hangar!?? Makes my $140/mo rent seem like peanuts!

Great Chad... I have been paying for mine since Jan 1 and all I have in there is the wings and three chairs and some storage boxes (wife creep). I am paying $220 a month for a standard old T hangar.
Right now I am subing out a corner of it for a guy to keep his powered parachute in there so that saves me some each month.
It is comforting to know that the hangar is there when I need it but I hate paying for it for nothing.
My original plan was to move to the hangar by now since my prior job was 5 minutes from the airport. Bad thing is that my new job is 5 minutes from my house and my house is 30 minutes from the airport. So now I am waiting as long as possible to take the plane to the airport.

Ah, I thought you were on the right, and the Sonex owner was on the left  Figured you were being a good host and carrying his bags for him

Kel, $140,000 for a hangar!?! That is terrible!
Chad, good grab! Looks really good! Will it fit 2 RV's?

All us local RVer's think these hangars will. Would be tight, but I think it could be done...

Nice hangar Chad! Too bad it will probably be contaminated with fruity beer soon. 
Congratulations.

Thanks Guy...I was WAITING for someone to say that! I'll have you all know, that the fridge in the hangar contains only MANLY NON-fruity beer...at least for now...
