The hangar project, contracted by Immelman Hangar Developments LLC and facilitated by the Seaside airport advisory committee, city council and staff, took more than a year to complete.

This has been a long time coming for our little airport. In the airport's entire 50 year history, there has been no place for people to park planes out of the weather. Largely for that reason, few aircraft owners have historically been based at Seaside, with the count hovering between two and zero in recent years. The new hangar building changes that equation, and seven airplanes now call Seaside their home.

And a sweet home it is, with electricity, insulation, water, sewer, and Schweiss electric bi-fold doors -- definitely a cut above your standard Tee hangar.

The building sits on airport land which is leased from the city. The bays are individually owned in a "condominium" arrangement. Some owners will rent or sub-lease (or occasionally sell) their hangars. If you are interested in any of the above, contact Immelman Hangar Developments LLC, immelman4hangars@aol.com. (Note: if you are interested in using the space for something other than aircraft storage, don't bother -- these are aircraft hangars, not general purpose storage units, as is clearly stipulated in the lease.)
