The Half Fast Hangar (at KAMW)

The Half Fast Flying Adventures hangar is based at the Ames, Iowa, airport (KAMW). We are a 60'x60' gold hangar on the southern end of the private hangars, just east of the airport terminal. When the weather is warm, if the garage door is open, we're open. In colder weather, if the front door is unlocked, we're there. We have parking for 5 cars, with more available at the airport.
