I had been wanting to get a hanger, they told me the deposit was $10,000 with the
remainder $90,000 due upon completion. you have to buy the damn things, surprised the hell out of me. I didnt need a hanger that bad. Dan Truesdell wrote: After reading this thread, I'm glad I live where I do (CNH). Although we do have to deal with New England weather, I don't think you can buy a house for $350K. You'd have to get a house, a bunch of land, and maybe another small house. As for the airport, fuel is self-serve at $2.45 something, and T-hangar space is $120/month (that's not a typo). I share a 172 with 4 others. Can't fly for much cheaper than that. (Of course, a nicer/faster/better plane would always be a good thing.)

3 acres...that made my wife jelous
thats a really good price for all that. Jeff Maule Driver wrote: I'm glad I'm where I am too... hopefully most of us are. I'm at 8nc8. No NE weather but we have summer. Grass but the price is right. $350k put me on the runway with a home and a 2500' hangar on 3 acres. Only expense is low property taxes and a nominal homeowners fee. Our private fuel is up to about $2.35 now and we have JetA (!!). Sometimes we forget how nice it is. \ |

We actually have a waiting list for hangar space. We have 6 T-hangars
and 1 community hanger with space for 6 airplanes. The city owns the airport, and does not wish to fund any new hangars (even though they would pay for themselves in 6 or 7 years). One could lease a spot on the airport fairly cheaply and build a privately-owned hangar, but New Hampshire unfortunately is stuck in the dark ages, and almost all of the city's funds come from property tax. (The state taxes your property, too. It's a mentality from the 19th century, and why we pay our state reps $100/year. All 400 of them.) So a nice $300K set of T-hangars will cost you about $10K per year just in taxes. I know that sounds cheap to someone in LA, NY or BOS, but that's a lot to swallow here. It's a bit frustrating as any addition to the airport would be beneficial. I happy to have our hangar, but I can see why others are a bit put off by the situation.

wrote in message ... Piaggio Avanti P180 - 41,000 Feet If its cold and you are light. 390 knots high speed Cruise - but normally about 360-365 at 330 If its cold 1700 + nm Range w/ IFR reserves Not likely. NBAA IFR range is listed at 1400nm and again only at ISA. Burns around 280/side at altitude (410) But you can't reach 410 very often because it is usually ISA+10 We can do SF or L. Angeles to NJ non-stop with a nice tailwind... No way. Can land on a 2300 foot runway if you're good Piaggio claims 3000' at sea level and 77F (ISA+10) anyway you couldn't take off again. Perfect safety record - Never an injury or fatality - Only a few ezamples flying Paul P In spite of the above, it is one of the best from a number of standpoints. I have come close to buying one twice. Mike MU-2 |

: Cheaper than marriage? Certainly. Very hard to combine the two at any : decent level (of aircraft) because a wife likes to have a similar : amount spent on her, thus doubling the cost of flying. Unless you can : find a flying wife, or a wife with a substantial independent income - : very rare! This is so true. A friend of mine has a non-flying wife. He just had his plane painted (by Keyson, at KASH, very nice job). When asked how much it cost, his reply is "Oh, a living room set, first floor bathroom remodeled, new drapes, ..." -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J) |

But while most women aren't interested in planes and find the whole
business a huge turnoff, the horsey types do expect their men to accept that hobby without a question, and most do. You just end up living parallel lives... Very glad to hear I'm not alone in this. I initially agreed to learn to ride as part of a deal in which my better half was going to learn to sail- needless to say I am now a fully fledged horse owner and she still a land lubber. My brother recently made a similarly over optimistic pact, in which his wife said she was going to learn to ski- hmmm. I think men are generally tricked into riding, they're certainly not designed for it- the "sitting trot" springs immediately to mind. Incidentally, here in Wales the fields are almost VERTICAL, negating even the benefit of a private runway. Pete Cameron. |
