Hangar Building Question
Trying to plan ahead, I checked yesterday on hangar availability in my area well before I thought I'd need it. Ended up #10 on a waiting list at my local airport with low turnover. While the airport is "hoping" to build some more hangers in the "next 5 years," I'm not holding my breath. Consequently, I'm trying to look at other airports and other options. One option is to lease airport land and build private hangers. Has anyone else gone through this process at other airports? Are there any good reference sources that anyone is aware of that would give me some insight into whether or not this will be feasible in terms of cost to do (either independently or with a couple other interested parties) or red-tape to wade through?
I don't think I'll need a hangar for at least another year, maybe year and a half, but I'm going to be pretty bummed out if I finish and can't find anyplace reasonably close to keep my new plane sheltered!
