: If you seriously think that any airport in this neck of the woods is going to

: with it a few years ago, you really have a screw loose.

... but with the insanity that has become of liability insurance in the past
(surprisingly few) years, it may *not* make sense.

I'm actually interested in the legalities of the leases that federally-funded
airports use for hangars and tiedowns. Some issues are specifically spelled out
(self-fueling, for instance). Other issues are less clear... like what one is allowed
to do in ones rented hangar. Some places are getting so that you aren't allowed to
keep tools in your own hangar... just an airplane.

Anyway, the whole thing is rather sickening. I figure you should be able to
do whatever the hell you want if you're leasing the space (provided you are not
breaking the law WRT chemical hazzards, fire codes, drug smuggling, etc)...
