jasona900 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I will be traveling to the DC area for 30-45 days starting next week. I am considering flying myself, but have had limited luck finding a hangar. The best rate I have found thus far is at Manasas at $500 a month. I figured it would be worth a shot asking here if someone has some extra room they could spare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Good luck, friend of mine moved there 2 yrs ago, and still looking. 500 isn't too bad for a short term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danb Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 500 is not high for Manasas, going rate for long term hangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hangars in Houston are 500$. manassas is reasonable at that rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasona900 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Good to know... I was just hoping someone may have some extra space available at a rate that was cheaper than what was offered to me at Manassas. Does make my $165/mo rent in Omaha a little easier to digest though.

BKlott Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Did you try Shannon Airport (KEZF) down near Fredericksburg? They had hangar space available the last time I flew in there. Cafe and museum on the field. Nice people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuRugal Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 +1 for the KEZF recommendation. Great bunch of guys up there. I took my LSA practical with the airport manager, Jerry, and had the pre-buy for my C-model done by an IA who operates out of there, Lloyd. The FBO staff have all been great to deal with every time i've been there, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Short term unfortunately that's about right for the closer in airports. if someone locally wants to move an airplane to a further out airport and make $200 a week for a bit, that's a possibility. If my airplane were in the shop or out of town, I'd offer my hanger at GAI. EZF has inexpensive fuel too for the area - the only issue is the distance from DC. There is the light rail that takes you right to DC. In no traffic, about an hour - in holiday traffic - four hours. My in laws are in Fredericksburg and I'm on the north side of DC in Maryland. Call ALL the local airports, including Dulles, and see if there's a spot open in a shared hanger for less than the $500 per month. I doubt it close in, but you may get a spot behind a turboprop, business jet,. or something that recently moved out. Good luck! I know a 414 that moved out of a shared hanger at GAI last month as well as a larger hanger that is currently vacant but can fit 2-3 shorter airplanes. They may be able to make a deal on a 30-45 day rental. PM me your number and I can get you in touch with the main guy that runs the hangers at GAI. -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just couldn't swing a hangar below $500 in the area, and had to buy commercial air tickets. EZF was an option, but as you said, over an hour away from where I was going to stay.

gitmo234 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Good luck on the hunt. I'd recommend taking a look at Potomac KVKX, however their hangars are not just "offered". When open the owner puts them on ebay to bid on the monthly rent, and the bidding starts at $400. I dont believe there are any open right now. I'm looking to maybe move from there, because I live a bit west in NOVA and although its 18 miles away from home, some days that drive can take 90 minutes. So I'm looking at manassas or somewhere else for a tiedown Really wish we had rates like out in central missouri. $75 a month for a hangar. Out here I'd even build a hangar somewhere to use it for free and pass it to the airport when I die or move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
