We actually have a waiting list for hangar space. We have 6 T-hangars
and 1 community hanger with space for 6 airplanes. The city owns the
airport, and does not wish to fund any new hangars (even though they
would pay for themselves in 6 or 7 years). One could lease a spot on
the airport fairly cheaply and build a privately-owned hangar, but New
Hampshire unfortunately is stuck in the dark ages, and almost all of the
city's funds come from property tax. (The state taxes your property,
too. It's a mentality from the 19th century, and why we pay our state
reps $100/year. All 400 of them.) So a nice $300K set of T-hangars
will cost you about $10K per year just in taxes. I know that sounds
cheap to someone in LA, NY or BOS, but that's a lot to swallow here.
It's a bit frustrating as any addition to the airport would be
beneficial. I happy to have our hangar, but I can see why others are a
bit put off by the situation.

After reading this thread, I'm glad I live where I do (CNH). Although
we do have to deal with New England weather, I don't think you can buy a
house for $350K. You'd have to get a house, a bunch of land, and maybe
another small house. As for the airport, fuel is self-serve at $2.45
something, and T-hangar space is $120/month (that's not a typo). I
share a 172 with 4 others. Can't fly for much cheaper than that. (Of
course, a nicer/faster/better plane would always be a good thing.)

We are looking for land right now so my wife can get another horse, she has to
board hers at a stable and she does not like doing it.
Land in vegas is way way over priced. So 350k for 2.5 acres, if it had a house
on it, would not be bad at all. 2.5 acres with nothing on it...not a chance.

starts at 350k?

There must be people on the newsgroup that fly single pilot
IFR on a regular basis. These people have a schedule to make
and would rather not miss that schedule unless necessary. These people
don't have the need to carry many passengers, but just themselves.
My question is for these people ...

What sort of planes are you flying?
