Gents-

Getting orders to Fort Irwin, CA in the near future. California seems daunting reference general aviation, and I can't seem to find any information on hangar or tie down availability. Can anyone speak to the location from past experiences and offer direction or advice? I would be living in the Apple Valley/North Victorville area. As it sits now, it looks like my S7 will be on the market soon .

I'm concerned I've grown accustomed to the freedoms of Alaska and the affordability of tie down fees here. I can't imagine how exuberant the cost of hangaring or tying down a bird in Southern California is going to be. I'm trying to treat this assignment with an open mind like all the others (15 years in and I've had some bad ones!), but right off the bat, my guns and airplane are looking to be a victim of circumstance.

Hopefully someone can offer some sage advice or at least a success story about the location.

Cheers!
