You got some good some great Japanese whiskey in that hangar especially the bottle of Yamazaki single malt. 😊. Every day my wife asks me if I’m going to the hangar so she can have some peace and quiet 😳. My hangar has old airline seats (both first class and coach) microwave, fridge and XM radio. Got lots of signs and stickers too.
Just after 4:00... your mention of Colgan Airways and shot of your uniform hat gave me an enjoyable flashback to my youth when I learned to fly at Manassas with Colgan in the early '70s. Started in Cherokee 140s, and the one I flew most was N7390J, which last time I checked was still flying and based in northern CA. My instructors at Colgan were 'Wick' Wicker on the ground and Bill Sanborn in the air. In 1970 at age 13 I was probably one of the youngest student pilots in America, definitely in that part of the country. Nickname around the airport was 'Jr. Birdman.' The Colgan fbo at HEF was a Piper dealer but soon switched to selling and instructing in Cessnas so I continued my ppl training in the 150/52 and 172. Liked the wing shade and being able to see the ground better, and the Cessnas were probably better as basic trainers actually, but I missed the Cherokee. This was all back when the company was still run very much hands-on by founder Chuck Colgan and the 'airline' was a Beech 18 and 99 often flown by Chuck himself, used mostly to move IBMers between Manassas and Poughkeepsie or Westchester. If I recall correctly he had a Queenair too. Definitely a Beechcraft guy though. As a former Colgan pilot I'm sure you're familiar with the saying, "Move the Rig." In other words, a stationary airplane is losing money. Unfortunately that philosophy acquired a somewhat different meaning when his son took over the reins- more like, "Move the rig or I've got someone else who will." A whole 'nother story there, right? Enjoyed your hangar tour, a fantastic man-cave!
I love your IG posts man I just subbed you on YT today I just found you on here looking at cubs. But the posts of the plane in the hangar are always awesome looking. One of kind Hangar there.
My kind of hangar. I owned a 1946 Globe Swift for seven years, but my hangar was not as period or swanky as yours. But I miss both my man-cave hangar and my plane. If I could afford it, I'd own a Super Decathlon, a Stearman, an AT-6, and a Curtis P-40N........and a J3 Cub.
Dang…….so cool! I can see why you like your hanger so much. I wouldn’t want to get home either. 40’s vibe, music, and a really cool plane to look at. Very nice!
Gorgeous all your missing is a 1950 Ford F series and you have my dream garage. Well I might have more Coca Cola branded stuff lol but it’s close enough.
thank you from France for the visit ! it's always wonderful to discover that there are places where aviation dreams come true, where it's nice to sit while the rain drums on the hangar's metal sheets, next to a plane that's meditating on when lift force arrives
When I went to pick up my Cub Yellow Piper, I brought with me a bottle of Baby Saz to share with the former owner and cheers. Pretty cool hangar Joe, I would have mine set up the same if I owned it and not just rented a spot.
Great tour of the hangar ! Love that you listen to old vintage music which goes with the atmosphere of the aircraft oasis you have. Man, noted that at 2:04 there is a bottle of GUMP whiskey, can't get more aviation oriented with whiskey than that ! Never even heard of it actually. Also loved the large J-3 sign ! Well, loved the whole thing actually, you have a great place to recharge and that is so important ! Nice little place for the J-3 ---I'm sure it likes it---- less the scary clown-------ha !!!
Goals. Next hangar upgrade is a full size fridge. Then before the winter cool lights. I have a ton of light to work. But evening lighting, fire pit.. Yeah, you are certainly on to something. “Build it and they will come”
Reminds me a little bit of mine. I get the same sort of response from my girlfriend "how long are you gonna be out there?" lol. No place I'd rather be to be honest. I need to upgrade my flag though and get on your level
A very nice setup. I seen the American flag in your videos and I put one in my hanger also thanks for idea. If you ever get down to Arkansas I have a 2000ft grass strip 66Ar stop on by.
Hey Joe, any recommendations for how to keep your sliding hangar doors somewhat sealed to dust? Noticed your hangar is relatively dust-free. Also, any recommendations for where to acquire Piper banners/signs/posters (Tri-Pacer owner here).
I’ve just discovered your channel and plan to keep an eye on it. I’ve started and stopped and started again to get a private or sport certificate. Now at age 61 sport is probably where I’ll end up, which is fine. I have some time in. J-3 but struggle with the back seat position. Probably just psychological but the Taylorcraft I’m training in now is more comfortable for me. I’ll eventually get back in a Cub. I really enjoy your channel, and what an awesome cave. One question; I noticed the Amsoil stickers. Is that what’s in the crankcase? It caught my attention enough to put it in my truck recently.
Just don't be tempted to use that propane fire pit when the hanger door is closed. You never know if you happen to get stuck there in a blizzard or something and have the door down, and needed some heat. Its not as much the fire being the real hazard as it is carbon monoxide poisoning from burning the propane. Its only an issue if the doors closed though.
My hangar is so dusty and requires constant cleaning. How do you keep yours so clean??? No dust? Also, what method do you use to attach/hang your pictures to the metal walls?
A very personal touch!!! Do you rent the T Hanger? What State? How much ? Thanks, wish many years of enjoyment!!! Frank Vietnam Disabled Veteran Puerto Rico
watched your video "big fan of piper J3" if your interested were selling a F4U corsair 1/5 scale (54" wingspan) built over 45 years ago in great condition - with letter of authenticity , signed and dated by Gregory "pappy" Boyington
Badass, man, you are living every boy's dream, @bananasssssssss @joecoztansa I remember when I learned to fly a plane in Brownsville, Texas. and this kind of vibe always exists in our technicians' workspace. Greetings from Bali, If you go on holiday to Bali, I will take you around in my favorite car, namely a car from the Second World War. Blessings
When were you at Colgan??? Did you know Steve Dean, he was the FO that went down in the cape when they wired the stab trim backwards? He and I were instructors together down at Grande Prairie airport in Texas.

I think he’s lying about the gas cans. That’s probably more whiskey 🤣
an aviators man cave...ultimate place to get lost for a while...full of envy now (as if flying a cub isn't enough)👍👍👍

Well done... A hanger is so much more than a parking spot for a plane. It's a parking spot for a lifestyle
Congratulations, a very pleasant place to store a plane and spend time with family and friends.❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video, nice hangar. Thanks for the tour
Any time!
Our hangar needs this kind of makeover.
Great! You took from us those good SUNTORY whiskeys.
Hi I like your hangar ❤
