Hi Art,

 

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Front Range Airport.  Unfortunately, we live in Boulder and it’s a pretty long drive out there.  Since we’re still building and need to be in the hangar often it makes a long drive even more of a problem.  Thanks for the feedback on the Longmont airport problems.  The Boulder airport is closest, of course, but we’d have to build a new hangar and the city’s terms are that they own it in 20 years.   Explains why it’s not thriving like the other nearby airports… 

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Valin

Valin,

Where in the Denver area are you living? I have my Legacy at Front Range Airport (KFTG). I live up in Conifer so it's just over one hour to drive there, but it is a very nice airport with cheap hangers compared to KAPA and probably the same as Rocky Mountain. Boulder runway may be a little short with a lot of glider traffic and Longmonts rules leave a lot to be desired. A close friend just left Longmont for Front Range because of the rules. He owned a hanger there for twenty + years.

Hey LML gang,

 

Does anyone one have advice on finding a good hangar in the Boulder, Colorado area? 

 

Our Legacy project has been on hold for many months while on temporary duty in Colorado.  Our airplane is still in our hangar in Houston.  My wife Allyson and I love this area and hope to be staying in Colorado long term and need to work out getting our Legacy project moved up here...

 

Our first airport choice is the Rocky Mountain Regional Airport (formerly JeffCo), then Boulder, and then Longmont.   

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions those familiar with the area and hangar availability might have.
