Re: Hangar rent

IIRC, it went from $50/mo to $85/mo in 1992 or 1993, and back then the ramp
plowing was random.  Sometimes it would be plowed pretty close to the
airplane, others you'd have to shovel out a 50' path between the airplane and
the shovelled lane.  $110/mo is ridiculous.  Even PVD, which doesn't want us
there, is only $52/mo for tiedowns, and they'll often do what they can to
stuff you in a hangar if there is severe weather predicted.
