It is unknown exactly how and when that the Ogden Airport / Ogden City acquired ownership of Hangar S-755. However, Ogden City
has leased out the use of this hangar for decades. Fair Air was the tenant about 7-10 years ago and went out of business owing the
City better than $50K. When Fair Air was leasing the hangar, they subleased to Cornerstone Aviation. Once Fair Air failed,
Cornerstone and a new upstart entity, Utah Aircraft Maintenance stepped up and took over payments to maintain their presence in
the hangar.
The hangar has been marginally maintained over a long period of time. Recently, the City has been catching up with the long
deferred maintenance. Essentially, the City's building and code enforcement inspected the hangar under the same criteria that would
be used if someone outside the City owned the hangar. This created a significant list of repairs and replacements that were required.
Most all repairs have been accomplished outside one major replacement ... the replacement of the large west facing electric roll-up
hangar door. The current door is decades old. It is a "top-end" Atlas roll-up door in two sections to create the large hangar opening.
This door has cost several thousands each year in repairs. First the City covered all of the repair costs, then part of the burden was
placed on the tenant. Parts for a proper repair are not available and only adlib modification are keeping the door functioning. On
January 29th, 2023, the door malfunctioned and was damaged beyond any easy repair. A replacement is needed in the next several
weeks
