Or at least the contents. I recently went to Key West for a few days of above freezing temps. While there my friend and I did the one hour biplane tour (no stick up front though :(). After we landed, the door to this hanger was open. My jaw hit the pavement when I saw the aircraft within. I asked and recieved permision to walk around and take pics.

And here is one of the Waco we rode around the island: (I'm the one on the right)

Fred Cabanis gives rides in the Pitts (N19FC) at Sun n' Fun every year. He can put on a helluva aerobatic routine in it, too.
 
Is that one person's (incredible) collection or a communal hanger?

While I haven't done a N number search, I think all the planes except the Citabra belong to one person. The only reason that I think the Citabra is a different owner, is that the Biplane people also offered rides in it.

Every plane was sparkly clean. In fact there was a gentleman walking around with a duster and some cleaning supplies making sure everything was just so. I made sure not to touch anything as it was so clean.
 
I couldn't afford to fly most of those, but sure would be nice trying.

Nope, I'd hate having all of those classic beauties. Sure would suck to be the envy of every aviation freak in the world.

The real problem with having them all is that you can only fly one of them at a time. And I've found pilots pretty poor at making some decisions (like "where should we fly for dinner tonight?" or "which plane should we take?")
 
Where's the "drool" emoticon????
 
I don't really wear suits, so I would have no need for a hanger.
 
What can I say, it "effects" me when I see things misspelled, or the wrong homonym is used. ;)
