High Flying Hangars (HFH) is progressing two hangar developments in the United States, having been selected for a 30-acre project at Lincoln Airport (LNK) in Nebraska and signed a letter of intent for an 8.8-acre site at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The Lincoln Airport Authority selected HFH following a competitive Request for Proposals process, and the two parties are entering lease negotiations. The proposed development includes up to 68 premium aircraft hangars ranging from 50ft by 40ft to 70ft by 60ft, aimed at addressing rising demand for hangar space across Lincoln and eastern Nebraska.
At Wittman Regional Airport, HFH has signed a letter of intent covering roughly 8.8 acres on the northeast side of the field, between the approach end of Runway 23 and the terminal building. The project envisages up to 35 premium hangars from 50ft by 40ft to 80ft by 80ft, a 7,000 sq ft clubhouse for hangar owners and a limited number of two-storey 80ft by 80ft executive hangars with crew rest suites, a kitchen and a rooftop sky deck. HFH and airport leadership are entering active lease negotiations, with construction targeted to begin in 2027.
Anthony Dudas, executive director of Lincoln Airport, says: “Our Strategic Plan calls for thoughtful growth that supports general aviation, economic development and the long-term success of Lincoln Airport.”
Kenny Hinkes, CEO of High Flying Hangars, adds: “Every pilot has a connection to Oshkosh. It's where the aviation community comes together each year to celebrate everything we love about flying.”
Wittman Regional Airport is internationally recognised as the home of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world's largest annual aviation gathering. Lincoln Airport serves commercial, military and general aviation traffic across Nebraska. HFH plans to work with Lincoln-area architectural and construction firms on the Nebraska project. Additional pricing and reservation details for the Oshkosh development are expected as planning progresses.
