Re: Best Single Pilot IFR Plane

We actually have a waiting list for hangar space.  We have 6 T-hangars 
and 1 community hanger with space for 6 airplanes.  The city owns the 
airport, and does not wish to fund any new hangars (even though they 
would pay for themselves in 6 or 7 years).  One could lease a spot on 
the airport fairly cheaply and build a privately-owned hangar, but New 
Hampshire unfortunately is stuck in the dark ages, and almost all of the 
city's funds come from property tax. (The state taxes your property, 
too.  It's a mentality from the 19th century, and why we pay our state 
reps $100/year.  All 400 of them.)  So a nice $300K set of T-hangars 
will cost you about $10K per year just in taxes.  I know that sounds 
cheap to someone in LA, NY or BOS, but that's a lot to swallow here. 
It's a bit frustrating as any addition to the airport would be 
beneficial.  I happy to have our hangar, but I can see why others are a 
bit put off by the situation.
