Wow. Guess you won't have to worry much about hangar rash in that one. Be hosting a basketball tourney in there too?
 
you've got some nerve calling that a hangar. No fridge, no couch, no tables full of partially completed projects. With all that space you should be working hard to show us all up on accomodations.

It's one of the hangars at the former NAS Brunswick. And I'm assuming that the illustrated method will not be the approved method, once there are materials/inventory stored in the hangar. The pictures represent the first entry into it by 72Golf.

An engineer with the company which has the lease on the hangar is using my plane to get his CFI rating, already rated up to ATP. He's a USN-Ret pilot.
More pictures, later.

Pictures, later, of the former USN bathroom/shower room; kitchen; conference
room. The hangar section does have a chair which I show, below. The current tenant did much to redesign the Navy accommodations. It's quite something!

Looks a lot better than his old hangar, and it wasn't bad. Had room for the plane and a car at the same time. Nice digs.
 
Glad you were able to squeeze that Skyhawk in there.:)

Very nice hanger!

Ghery: This is not the hangar(Brunswick) you were in when you were here. That was Hangar 6, built after Hangar 5.

Incidentally, my own hangar at Wiscasset will be rented out to a veteran flyer who'll put his "170" in there, having recently lost his spot in another hangar when the hangar's owner needed all the space in it.

Yesterday I took a few things from my hangar to Hangar 5. When I walked through the "People door"(main entrance) the little steel sliding door(8 or 10 feet wide) which leads from offices area into the hangar's tie-down(?) space was open(employees were still there for the day). It was rather funny to look straight ahead and see that little Skyhawk in the middle of all that floor area. I only had iPhone with me but took a shot of the scene; will download it to my PC and post it, later.

Re the "taxi into the hangar" method illustrated previously, below is a follow-up from the CFI student who's using my plane and is the employee with the company which leases Hangar 5:

All,
I have no issues with taxi in the hangar in the current configuration BUT, I just removed $100,000 in equipment from benches in the hangar which I wouldn't want to sandblast if they had been in place AND there was nobody working in the offices when you arrived. Here are some thoughts:

1. Shut-down/park in front of the south end where the door opens.
2. Open the door the required distance and push the plane in/out,
3. Close the door and go fly/go home.

That's my recommendation,
Doug
