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.

Why don't you do it like "da mayuh" and have the mover come sometime around
midnight...

It's approximately 70 wide by 80 feet long, and about 40 feet high.

The sliding doors alone are slabs 3 stories high, by 12 feet wide, and
there are a 8 of them on each side.

I know I've already told you this, but I'll mention it here again.
Several years ago I was asked to apply by the airport commission
president at the time. The city council -- whose members make the
appointment decisions -- did not select me.

Since then I have been told that I was encouraged to apply only so
that there was the appearance of a choice.

Rather then become frustrated, I chose to found and administer our
airport advocacy group, Friends of Iowa City Airport. With almost 300
members, this non-profit group has been very successful at helping to
keep our airport open and strong.

But we haven't been able to save that old hangar, dammit.

I had a similar situation. I am on the city airport advisory board. No
power, but we make recommendations to the City Coucil. I had been
chairman for 5 years and finally had to sit out. When I reapplied, I
couldn't seem to see that I was getting re appointed. Found out it was
being help for something like I was too much of an airport advocate.
Well.... I finally got reappointed. Just love politics. The board is 7
with no more than 3 pilots. That's fair so as not to "stack" the board.
10 years with the airport we have been trying to build hangars. We just
might get started this year.

We were able to get the Stanton MN airport (SYN) on the Nat'l Historic
Register. One of the main features that sold it was the runways were
still grass.
