CLUB PILOTOS HANGAR 

We can nearly always guarantee singles, and light twins for your visits during the year with the exception of ‘Club Piloto Reunions’.  As always, it is a ‘first come first serve’ basis for parking in the hangar.  At the ‘Reunions’ the wing length limitation for hangar parking is 38′.    One can be nearly certain that the first day of the event there will not be any space available, one day early usually works, two days for sure.

Parking in the hangar is at your own risk and the resort owners will not be responsible for any type of damage or loss.  For ‘Reunions’ up to 12 aircraft will be parked in the hangar. We suggest that owner’s assist in moving their airplane when it is inside the hangar.  If you have not signed a release form previously at a Hacienda event please do so in Reception.
