Default Great post, I agree

I have a neighbor who flys out of BFI, and he had a similar problem with their Falcon 900 and finding space. Turns out they're going to build a seven million dollar hangar to house the jets. Cool thing for them is - they can. However, the guys in the market for the VLJ are going to feel the pinch big time.

Reminds me of a joke.... "How do you make a million dollars in aviation"

You post also reminds me of when I bought a boat that was too large to trailer! I got a great deal on the boat, but the marina fees are killing me.
