What's up with the old AA hangar at Meacham Field?

Sun Feb 24, 2013 6:03 pm

When I drove past the old American Airlines hangar at Meacham Field, it looked as though they might be tearing it down. The front and rear walls and doors were completely torn down. The remainder of the structure looked to be intact. Perhaps it's being renovated and it will live on? It's a shame to lose the beautiful art deco facade, with its ornate brickwork and stonework. Anybody know what's up?

I can't believe that I've been driving past that lovely old hangar for years and years and I've never once stopped to take a photo of it. Now that opportunity is gone forever. Dang! :x

You can see why saving our Curtiss Hangar is so important... It's easy to lose our history when we least expect it.

The Bass family is renovating it for their family of corporate aircraft. Have no fear, all of the Art Deco facade will be saved and kept up.

This hangar is not going anywhere. It is being refurbished to house modern aircraft. It'll be good for another 75 years. Here is a history report on the place.
