My partner and I pay $45/mo for our "tie down space" and on it we placed a
concrete pad plus a COVERIT hangar.

I had plans to do something like that when I bought my Maule. Unfortunately,
the new airport owner said he "didn't want a tent city out there" and canned the
idea. In the meantime, the ultralight people started setting up all sorts of
homemade covers 100 yards away from me.

A few years later, when I was getting ready to move the plane to Old Bridge,
he came around and said he'd changed his mind. I could set up my hangar. By that
time, the paint had been gone from the flaps for years, and the rest of the
plane wasn't looking too good either.

I just thanked him and hurried up the move.

To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having too much
could prove embarassing, but having too little is always fatal.
