chriscalandro Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Is there ANYPLACE is SE Florida that is in anyway affordable for monthly tie down or hanger? I have a potential job offer over / down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Tee hangar may be tough to find, community hangar may be an option, tie down available everywhere. Tie down probably runs around $100/mon, hangar can be $650 or more. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Know that your insurance typically pays you to relocate the plane... True for NJ hurricanes anyway... we ducked out from one hurricane had a nice weekend in Chicago... Gas and a few other expenses were covered.

Oldguy Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 13 hours ago, chriscalandro said: What do you do about hurricanes? Leave. My insurance will cover relocating the plane ($500 or so), and I will take it back up here to Alabama. Where in SE FL? That description can cover a bunch of airports but traffic on the ground can be limiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidv Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Almost all hangars are on a long waiting list, except for Lynx at FXE, they just took over from Jet World and raised the hangar prices to $850/month, so a bunch of tenants left. The going rate is anywhere from $650-$750. You can get tie downs at North Perry for around 90 but may be a waiting list, not as bad or long as hangar though.

chriscalandro Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm Not a 650/month guy. If it works out tie down in Lauderdale or Opa-Locka will probably be the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidv Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 No tie downs in Opa Locka unfortunately (unless you want to pay Atlantic or Signature $450 per month!!!! I couldn't believe it when they quoted me that, and that was after they waited weeks to call me back). I would check out bobbys landing or hollywood aviation at HWO if you're looking for tie downs (both around 90 if available). Even at Pompano I have a friend who was forced to pay $250/month for a tie down because he couldn't find one elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My insurance company paid me $600 to move my plane when Irma came thru. Im on the SW side of Florida, thankfully our prices are not that high yet. I’ve been pondering buying a lot at an air park, but don’t want the hassle of moving and building a new house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
