I was wondering if anyone parks their plane out on the tarmac?
$350K-450K if you can believe that.
YOWWWWW! California! You can buy a whole airport for that in Georgia.
This would be a good thread to post some recent pictures of my RV covered in a dusting of pollen. (need to have my son get them off my celly) My RV is hangared but the pollen still finds its way in. We are having the worst pollen season since I have been in Georgia (9 years). Can't imagine storing my plane outside. I did fly through the pollen the other day and viz was horrible between 1000 and 3000 ft msl.
1.I would NEVER keep an RV outside myself, they weren't designed for it, and don't seal up very tight compared to most certified airplanes.
Some days I just have to give thanks for what we have here. My hangar rent is $48/month, but it is an open hangar. The pollen is bad, and we have considered adding a door ($3-$4k.) Last night I found I can get a closed hangar with an office (corner of end tee-hangar, cable and internet installed, air conditioned, etc.) for under $100/mo, after paying $2500 to the current renter for the door he installed. The monthly rent includes electricity. The farmland the airport owns pays all the airport operating expenses, and the airport board consists of all pilots. The feds have been very good to us, also (usually, anyway.) This is on a well lighted airport with over 5000' of good main runway, 3000+' cross runway, and 2000' grass runway. I have never been tempted to move....

Hangars in North Georgia can be very difficult to find, too. Several places that I've asked about hangar space were not even willing to put me on a waiting list! I am fortunate enough to have been offered space in a friends hangar--I'll be sharing space with a Stearman, a T-6, a Bonanza, and a P-40. Good company! I had resigned myself to existence on the ramp until this came up. I hope to get the plane moved up there in a week or two.
