Moreland Enterprises Hangar Development

Bob Moreland of Moreland Enterprises has erected a total of 22 t-hangars located off Falcon Rd and available for purchase with a land lease. Ten new twin-size hangars are now complete, and as of July 20, 2006, five of these remain available for sale or rent.  Twelve single-size units will soon be completed and six of those remain available at this time.  All hangars have electrically driven high-fold, bi-fold doors, are primarily heated with solar energy, are lined with white steel, and are brilliantly lighted with high efficiency florescent lighting.  Access to the beautiful new pilot lounge and association membership is included with every sale or rental.
