    You have to fold them just  right. Kinda like a parachute.

    The name comes from not clearing that last tree!

    It’s the only aircraft that’s made of cloth, but they don’t use hangars?

    Powered parachutes don’t get a hangar either. Usually just a garage.

    There’s always that umbrella you used to jump off the roof.

    Hot air balloons don’t need a hangar.

    Kudos to Jef Mallett for not misspelling it “hanger”!

    Lots of airplanes don’t get stored in hangars. In the military and the airline business, hangars are mostly for WORKING on them.

    Hangar has to be one of the most confusing word to pronounce for non-English speakers. I get that languages borrow words from other origins, but how did this word ever come to be pronounced hang-yer? You could teach someone to speak English perfectly and just keep the word hangar hidden until he mastered the language. Then one day, spring the word hangar on that person and ask him to read it. There is no way in hell it would come out as hang-yer, right?

    I’ve seen ultralights kept in a famer’s shop. I don’t suppose he’s considering model craft or drones, but they’re aircraft too, and I’ve never seen a hangar for one of them.

    The word hangar comes from Middle French hanghart (“enclosure near a house”), of Germanic origin, from Frankish *haimgard (“home-enclosure”, “fence around a group of houses”), from *haim (“home, village, hamlet”) and gard (“yard”).

    Actually, there’s an aircraft that’s far more common than a hang glider and not kept in a hanger: paraglider. See USHPA.org to learn more about both.

    English can be a tad confusing….BOMB, TOMB, COMB, DAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, GOOD, FOOD….LITTLE is twice the size of BIG.

    I live up the street from Whiteman Airport. Most of the small private planes are parked on the tarmac.

    Gliders usually are kept in their tow trailers between seasons.

    Although clipping back into a wing sure sounds good right about now.
