At Stroudsburg-Pocono airport (N53) there are three hangars that are domes
with doors that flip up into the roof of the dome, like big eyelids. Nice looking hangars that each hold one plane. Not space efficient, but they look strong. Don't know who made them or when. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) "Jeff" wrote in message oups.com... I remember seeing some time back a hangar design that used a circular dome style building. It showed GA airplanes all backed in and seemed like it used the space well. A Google search on round, circular, and dome aircraft hangars did not lead me to the hangar that I was looking for. Anyone remember seeing something like this? Jeff |

There is one in use at the airport in Ann Arbor Michigan. IFIRR it has 8
or 10 sides making it somewhat dome-like and has one bifold door. There is a large turntable inside which allows the whole building to be filled and any plane removed without bothering the others. Steve |
