Interesting.
I understand the differences on hangar rent as you look at COL figures
across the country. I personally would love to have and do envy the grass
runways that are common in some parts of the country. The weather that goes
with most of them? No thanks, I am afraid. My guess is that Guy's weather
would permit him more than 300 good fly days a year, but he pays for that in
the cost of local real estate including hanger rents. I have likely the
same number of fly days and lack the opportunity for grass and the hangar
rent would be similar to Guy's. Maybe another way to calculate value would
be to factor in fly days with hanger rent and convenience. There has to be
a reason people choose to live in certain climates despite the costs
involved.
For me, I have an empty hangar less than 10 teet from where I sit typing
this. Getting my airplane out after pushing back from the breakfast table
took about five minutes, then a taxi to the runway gate short enough that I
had to wait another minute or two for warm up. I am fortunate to have lived
here for a while, but new construction is in the $850K to $1 mil range as we
gave become an extended bedroom community of the incredibly expensive San
Francisco Bay Area.
I guess it is all relative.
