What are people paying for hangar space?
It does.So size does matter.
Yeah, it's been discussed here several times.Reason I’m asking is that here Atl area they are impossible to get at any price. I’m going to say if you can get a simple T hangar here it would be $500 or so.
Same in DC. Take a number.Reason I’m asking is that here Atl area they are impossible to get at any price. I’m going to say if you can get a simple T hangar here it would be $500 or so.
I’m paying $540.00 at FTY, big community hangar with pull outs. It’s closer to my son, he flies it 90% of the time, he’s moving closer to PDK and can’t even get a return call!

I probably needed to ask to include the other monthly costs of a hangar. This is a partial list that I've gleaned from reading many posts here on what people put in their hangars. Got to go with the POA expert advice:
-Wide Screen TV and monthly streaming
-Lazy Boy chair and couch
-Fridge
-Microwave
-Workbench to store snacks and soda
Nice! And, Florida seems like a great place to move to. But happy enough in ATL, so staying put.Move. (But not to Florida, please.)
Rented T-hangar with electricity for $350/mo at KGIF (Winter Haven). Does not include snow removal.
This nugget wisdom is why I hang out here.It’s the cost of the barmaids that really gets ya.....

Got to admit - I'm college sports agnostic. Kind of rare around these parts. I can't quite yet get my head around having a college team of 20 year old NIL rich kids going to a school I never attended have an influence on if I'm despondent or in a great mood depending on who wins the game.Well, you are closer to Ga Tech.....
(5-2 so far this season; not bad for a bunch of geeks able to pass diff eqs.)

I have all that stuff three miles away at home. I love my wife and being with her even more than I love my airplanes, so I’m saving the above listed expenses.

Paulding needs the "desperate piston owners" demographic because it is inconveniently located. Both due to distance from "anywhere" and because the road network out that way stinks if you're trying to get anywhere quickly. As of 9:30 PM, Waze says it would take me 49 minutes to drive the 27 miles to PUJ and 38 minutes to drive 32 miles to VPC, which includes 22 miles of interstate (i.e. fast) travel and only 3 traffic signals in the 8 miles from the interstate to the airport.Paulding is a refreshing example of a GA friendly airport that is expanding. They just opened the first set of brand new T hangars two months ago, and now are building 30 more. Lots of heavy equipment doing a lot of "landscaping" - they removed a hill to make the pad for the new hangars, rerouting the road to the really nice terminal, etc.
Ya do what you've gotta do. Or I'd be paying a thousand bucks a month at RYY (15 miles from home) or FTY (13 miles) as opposed to a fraction of that at VPC (32 miles).Paulding has something the dozens of other airports don’t have. Tie down and now hangar availability.
Yep - takes me 35 min to get there.
1st world problem IMHO.
