Chicken or the Egg? Hangar or Plane first?

Craig,
Which model Aero Commander do you have? The next time you're going to be messing about with the
AeroCommanber, give me a shout. I've never been inside one, but their outside lines are very
appealing to me.

OK, then, "what if" you find a hangar, but no idea when you'll find the
plane? Or is this a don't care? Around here (DFW), most covered open spots
are 150-200/mo, and hangars go up from there. I don't mind paying if
something's in there, but I'd hate to go 3 months or more for nothing.

Or do I need an attitude adjustment ;-)

Just rent the space out until you find your aircraft.......First thing
is to determine what aircraft you are going to buy or will have in the
next few years. Base your hangar search on that.

I'm in the DFW area too, but have to be very selective while we are
looking for a new hangar due to aircraft size. I've got an Aero
Commander that requires a 50' wide door and the other twin needs a 60
footer, with at least a 16' high opening. We've had to pass on several
nice lots over at Hicks because it would require towing the big twin
in and out and having everyone on most of the route close their bifold
doors so we could get by. I won't subject myself or other owners to
that kind of a problem.

I know of some rental space if you want to just rent for a bit while
shopping for a hangar. Drop me a note offline...
