My buddy's hangar where my mistress lives

Wow! I like that big mural in the back.....but seeing an airplane on one of those lifts just makes me queasy....

MTV

Just finished drywall tape/mud and paint ...now it's time to decorate . There is a small fridge on right hand wall, though, and it's stocked. So, if you're in BZN.....otherwise known as Bozeman Yellowstone Regional Airport at Gallatin Field (located in Belgrade, MT ) drop in.

This is in a "hangar condominium", so it's all mine, no rent..... . Heated, winch in the back....and a pretty little Cub...Life is good.

Ahh... such a cute little cub!! Looks like it has an AOSS landing system. Good job on the sheet rock (one of the least fun projects).

Good looking hangar -- now to clutter it up!

Have fun.

That is a nice -11.

When I bought my Husky a few years back, I hangared it in Wasilla for the first winter. The hangar could accommodate four airplanes that were parked tail-to-tail on a motorized turntable. Thus you just needed to hit a switch to swing your airplane to the front of the hangar so that you could roll it out and go flying. There was a winch in the center of the carousel mounted on a swivel that allowed you to pull your plane back into the hangar at the end of your flight.

Pictured below is my Husky along with the three other planes tethered tail-to-tail. It didn't make the best use of hangar space, but it was great for several active fliers if you didn't want to roll out a bunch of other plans to get to yours. Photobomb is my sons Golden Retriever.

Not as nice as what a lot of youse guys have. But it has a roof, door, an electrical outlet, and the water/ice is only rarely more than an inch deep...

That's my wing removal helper standing there (oldest daughter).

Is that one on top of the slab..??

We built ours into the floor so stuff can be parked in between the airplanes and there is nothing to trip over... Still need to get better pictures...

No AOSS...just standard Cub gear fairings. I think the angle makes it look symmetrical.

It is built on top of the slab. following is another picture of it and it seemed to work well:

Mike,

Great setup and great looking 11. I have an insulated heated T-Hangar like yours that is drywalled and painted. I too have a fridge. I bought a carpet remnant and have a couch and chairs under the right wing tip which makes a great "hang out". I bet you have some great pictures and decor to hang on the walls. Post more pictures when you are done.

We cut a 1/2 acre of trees, spent days with a tracked excavator, 2- tri-axel trucks hauled dirt and a D7 pushed a mountain of earth, in order to make a flat place for our lake hangar. The hangar is 50 wide X 40 deep X 16 tall, it has a 48 ft Schweiss hydraulic door, with a 14 ft sliding door on the side. There is a rail system for the plane and a second rail system for the boat (it fits under the wing of the C185F). We installed a double truss over the plane cabin area for a winch, in order to be able to lift the plane for change over.

OK Mike, you win! Not for your airport hangar, but for your lake hangar! That is very cool.

It reminds me of a residential airstrip in Idaho I saw at Lake Pend Oreille: a turf strip out the front of the hangars, and the lake behind. Most of the hangars had doors at both ends, one of the neatest airparks I've ever seen, kind of funky also, not super high dollar anyway.

How do you big tire guys keep the bottom of your wings so clean?

Easy. Keep 'em in the hangar!

I actually dont get much spray up onto my wings. The strut and horizontal are usually the dirtiest, but a nice flight in the rain, or just a good rain shower on the ground usually take care of that pretty good.

This picture is a few years old. But nothing has change much except Floyd from NV had long since bought that Clarktor from me.

Took a couple pics with the I Phone the other day.... Will have to get some more with a better camera and light but this should give you guys the idea....






Motor, gear reduction unit and cables are under the floor panel...



Cherokee... Cessna 182... Pacer and Super Cub... I also have a Tri-Pacer off the floor in the rear corner of the building... Several wings in racks.. A couple of fuselages here and there... Dads 1974 F250 4X4.. His 1964 Mercury Comet.. A few motorcycles.. Some furniture.. Etc... The building is 70 X 90...
