PIE
I just noticed this thread and thought I'd weigh in. I rent a hanger at PIE in the condo hangers at the approach end of rwy 22. I pay about $580 per month including tax. It is a great community. I'm building an RV-7A starting Phase 1 testing. Next to me is a guy with a great looking Baron. Across from me is a guy finishing his Lancair. There are a couple of Cozy's in the condos as well as a guy who seems to be restoring Super Cubs. Some guys seem to be restoring cars. One guy across from me works for EAA in advertising and flies his Archer out of there. There is an A&P a few doors down who volunteers his help readily.
I've been there 5 or 6 years and really enjoy the community. During Bucs games, I can walk over and talk to the crew of the blimp that is anchored there. The airport authority is easy to work with and I have never had any trouble with them. I like it there and would encourage others to try your luck finding a hanger. There is one for sale for $105K which is way overpriced.
PM me if you have any questions.
