tube and fabric and outdoor storage
"Gig 601Xl Builder" wrote in message m... That's pretty close to what I'm paying on the ground under my hanger on an airport with 2 fully paved runways, several paved taxi ways (including the one I'm on), ILS and other approaches and access to water & electric. The only down side is, well, you have to live in South Arkansas. Hardly a down side if you appreciate the truly finer things, like peace, quiet, low traffic. |

I have to agree, I've been looking around the county to see the cost of living differences, and southern Arkansas and northern Texas have some great communities for early retirement. Lou |

The only down side is, well, you have to live in South Arkansas. Hardly a down side if you appreciate the truly finer things, like peace, quiet, low traffic. Affordable hangarage usually has its other costs. If it's cheap, it's usually because there's little demand. I live in a town of 3300 or so, and manage the local one-runway uncontrolled airport. I have an old, beat-up hangar that I paid $1000 for, and it costs $200 per year for the land lease and around $80 in taxes. It works to keep the weather and curious fingers off the airplane, though I did have to spend some money on paint and roofing. We have more land available for more hangars, and as the town grows and folks in the cities an hour away get pushed off their airports the demand will rise, along with prices. Outside tiedown here has been free until this summer, when it'll start costing $75 per year. Got to cover the costs of snow removal and grass cutting and aging lighting systems and so forth. Oh, and the weather here is often brutal in the winter. Not a place that many want to retire to unless they're too old to go outside much. Nice in the summer, though. Dan |

Dan Although where I fly out of isn't as inexpensive (notice I didn't say cheap?), it sounds very much like my airport. And no, I wouldn't retire to this place, but I'm starting to look around. Lou |
