Moving it is the solution, but -- for reasons I cannot fathom -- the
airport commission isn't interested in pursuing this option. I even
got a mover to come give us a quote -- it's only $35K to move the
damned thing -- but the commission won't even put it on the meeting
agenda.



The old Pancho Barnes hangar* was moved by Gus Brieglieb to El Mirage
after her Happy Bottom Riding Club brothel...er, dude ranch was closed
by the Edwards AFB military. I believe it's still there today.

Perhaps a farmer with a private airstrip would be interested in moving
the hangar to his land for 'historical preservation'.
