At least you know that the other occupants won't be taking your iced tea out of the cooler, Doug.

Not a bad arrangement though, huge space.

You guys are going to be jealous of the sweet deal I've got myself set up with: I get a 100 X 80 foot hangar w/ bathroom and lounge room for $250 per month! How'd I swing such a deal? I share the back portion of the hangar with our county coroner. She's got her coolers and office set up in the back right corner, I get all the rest of the space. If only those stiffs would keep quiet. Oh wait, they do! Put some relaxing jazz music on, get a glass of iced tea and I can work in there all night long. Coolest part: The building has its own landslide driveway so I don't even need to go through the terminal to reach the airside of the field. 

Interesting research Hank, I did a quick search of his name and found this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoWgIwguOSA 

He seems to be the moneymaking type! ~ Doug

Hi Douglas,

You are the man, a jet hanger for your plane and sub.  Way to go!

I received one of these messages last night as well:

"Hey Douglas,

It's always been my dream to dive on a submarine.

I was wondering if it would be possible to pay for a dive?

All the best,

There's something suspicious about this communication to me. If this person has all of our email addresses, he must certainly have the list address, right? Why not just start a topic on sub rides? Karl Stanley comes to mind right away... he's the only guy I know offering rides full-time. Snoopy is definitely not up to the chore at the moment, considering that she is still torn down for overhaul. We got hit by a house fire in the fall, and I'm right in the middle of building an airplane, so it'll be a while before she is operational again. Good news though: now that I'm operating out of an executive jet hangar, I have more than enough room for a 'Snoopy section' next to the airplane build! With a 28 foot ceiling I can finally afford to build my gantry higher... this'll make lifting her up SO much easier. ~ Doug

Legally, just like with a regular boat, to do it for money would require you have a Coast Guard's captain's license.  You could do it for free

but of the person were to get hurt or killed, you would open yourself to a whole bunch of liability issues.  Good luck trying trying to get insurance

for a personal submarine!

I got one as well, just haven't answered him yet.  The only place I know other than commercial carriers in tourist areas is Mark Regan's submarine school.  Otherwise he'd have to find an individual owner to take him down.

I don't know this person.  I think I'll suggest he wait until the airplanes are flying again and ride on a tourist submarine at a tropical island.

Hey Michael,

I was wondering if you or anyone you know offers paid submarine dives? It's always been my dream to go for a ride in one.

Any direction would be much appreciated!

Best,
Matt
