Line Up and Wait
I recently got in a discussion about the old school bldg. next to the Prickett Grooms Airfield and what and when we might do something with it.
A Real Estate person (who would not be involved) suggested a club where investors/members would pay x amount to be members and have privledges of using the ficility .They had a non aviation themed version of this in the Chicago area.
I envision 8-10 rooms ,bathrooms set up like some european common use,
common kitchen area, common (small gymnasium) living room( size of a small basketball court) and some other sitting room type areas.
Probably some yearly dues to care of maintenece ,cleaning ,repairs ,insurance ,etc.
Since the runway is not plowed, we could defer some of the cost to snowmobilers the other half of the year.
I guess flying club in the summer,snowmobile club in the winter.
The Old Sidnaw School for those who have not seen it is a 9000 sq. ft Brick two story and we would probably add a partial 3rd floor incorporated into a new pitched roof, it would be completly gutted and all new but appropriate interior constructed, new wiring,plumbing, windows,etc.
Any serious comments or thoughts from a pilots prospective would be appreciated. ( This is in no way meant to be an advertisement just looking for some solid input.)
