Also, don't overlook doing a little bit of investigating on your own to identify hangars that don't have aircraft in them (filled with furniture, cars, boats, what have you). If the airport took federal money in the last 25 years for *anything*, then aircraft take precedence and the non-aviation user must move out. This has been a problem at our home field for many years now, and every so often they talk about getting tough and freeing up hangars for airplanes, but I've yet to see it happen. A buddy had to actually go to the airport manager and hint at going to the FAA before he got movement on getting a hangar, after being on a mysterious "waiting list" for several years.
Rules apply to all hangars, too, not just the airport-owned ones...
