| WANT TO SHARE YOUR HANGAR? | |
|
By JOHN SCHUSSLER for General Aviation News: Rental hangar tenants sometimes ask their landlords if they can sublease hangar space to someone else. Maybe a second airplane will fit in the hangar or the airplane will be gone several months and someone else wants to use it during that time. The landlord usually says “no.” There are several reasons for that answer. Landlords prefer to have a direct relationship with their tenants to enforce the lease covenants. They would not have that direct relationship with a sublessee and would need to go through their tenant to deal with the sublessee. |

| GIVE ME SPACE: Hangar lifts double coverage | |
|
Frugal Flyer, 2009: How would you like to cut your hangar rent
in half? Or add a second airplane to your fleet
without increasing your hangar costs? Tom Crone already owned and flew a
Grumman AA1B when he came across a
beautifully restored Piper J-3 Cub that he
very much wanted to buy. The question
was where to put it. Crone didn’t want to leave either airplane
outside, subject to the Mid-Atlantic
heat, cold, wind, and rain. And a second
hangar was unobtainable—both in terms
of ongoing costs ($400 a month) and a
years-long waiting list.
Crone’s answer was to buy a hangar lift
that allowed him to keep both airplanes,
protected, inside a single T-hangar. |

| ARM AERO LIFT ANNOUNCES RE-DESIGNED AERO-LIFT SYSTEM | |
|
Tucson, Arizona, June 13, 2008: Today, ARM Aerospace, LLC
announced the introduction of its newest Aero-Lift aircraft
storage hoist. Aero-lift is a highly-engineered lift system
that maximizes hangar space by allowing customers to store
an aircraft with gross weight of 2,500 lbs or less and a
total gear width of less 12 feet at a height of 10 feet above
the hangar floor. Aero-Lift can safely and efficiently lift
over 98% of all single engine, piston driven GA aircraft. |

| NEW YORK JET MAKES GOOD USE OF AERO LIFT FROM ARM AEROSPACE | |
|
April 25, 2006: Islip, NY When they installed their new Aero-Lift a year ago, New York Jet management was curious about the effect it would have on daily operations. Today they are redesigning plans for future hangars to accommodate more Aero-Lifts. It is easier to go up and park aircraft in ceiling space than it is to widen out the buildings on land that goes for such a high premium. |

| CALIFORNIA FLIGHT CENTER ADDS FOUR ARM AERO-LIFTS FOR GREATER UTILIZATION OF HANGAR SPACE | |
|
March 28, 2006: Long Beach, CA - When the California Flight Center began turning down prospective hangar tenants along with people needing maintenance work, they realized they had a problem. The two hangars they owned at Long Beach Airport simply were not sufficient to handle their needs as an FBO, sales and maintenance shop, flight training operation and hangar leasing. There was no way to increase the size of the footprints of either one of their hangars, but they could go up. Their solution was to order four Aero-Lifts from ARM Aerospace and start racking and stacking.

| ARM AERO-LIFTS INCLUDED IN NEW QUINCY/GADSDEN AIRPORT HANGARS | |
|
March 7, 2006: Quincy, FL - Over the years the Airport Authority Board for Quincy/Gadsden Airport has added to their hangar inventory, and today they have a total of 40 units. Their most recent expansion, which utilized the last of the land they have available for hangars, included five large, rectangular hangars. As an added enticement for people leasing the hangars, they included an ARM Aerospace Aero-Lift in each hangar.

| ARM AEROSPACE SHIPS 200TH AERO-LIFT | |
|
August 15, 2005: TUCSON, AZ – In 2004, ARM Aerospace doubled its 2003 revenue from the sale of Aero-Lift units and it appears certain they are going to double it again in 2005 as the company sends the 200th aircraft elevator out the door. Obviously, response to the “quick fix” hangar solution has been escalating. The Aero-Lift effectively doubles the utilization of high ceiling hangars by allowing owners to “rack and stack” aircraft.

| STANDING OUT AT OSHKOSH 2004 WITH AERO-LIFT | |
|
August 9, 2004: Oshkosh, WI – Two aircraft assumed the “inflight” position at this year’s EAA AirVenture and were clearly visible to
foot traffic as a result. An Aviat Husky and a Glasair Super II were hoisted ten feet above the ground on ARM Aerospace Aero-Lifts and could be seen from over two blocks away. Both exhibits drew considerable response from convention attendees, who were attracted by the aircraft as well as the device that held them aloft. |
|
| AERO-LIFT ADDRESSES EXPENSIVE AND DIMINISHING HANGAR SPACE | |
|
May 3, 2004: Tucson, AZ – Recognizing that hangars are scarce and hangar fees are steadily
escalating, especially in large metropolitan areas, ARM Aerospace has come up with an innovative solution that doubles the storage capacity of any existing hangar. They have created The Aero-Lift a cantilevered lift that makes it possible to store two airplanes in almost any hangar by lifting one aircraft into the air and using the empty space underneath to store an additional aircraft (or a car or a boat). Already adopted by a number of FBOs, general aviation and sport aviation pilots and aeroclubs, the Aero-Lift has met with an enthusiastic response in the United States and overseas. |
