I remember you talking about this before. Have you contacted any of
the historic preservation groups that aren't local?

Yep. We've had people from all over the country come look at the hangar.

They've all decided it's just too danged big to move across the country.
Locally, no one cares -- not even our airport commissioners.

It's criminal, but it's pretty much a done deal.

What really sucks is that they're using a federal grant to tear it down
-- and applying for a new federal grant to build a new hangar of equal
size! If they wanted to move the old hangar on the airport, it can be
done for as little as $30K (not counting site prep and restoration
costs, which could, admittedly, run several hundred thousand dollars)
and they'd have a perfectly good -- and historic -- hangar.

Apparently grants are available for new hangar construction, but not old
hangar restoration.

I'm sure you've done this obvious step, but have you contacted your
representatives/senators?
