WHY YOU SHOULD RENT AN AIRPLANE HANGAR FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT

 An airplane hangar is a big room for an airplane sure, but it turns out that hangars at Monmouth Jet Center have a secret life. They are often rented out when someone needs a huge space for an event. Need space for 500 or more people at your wedding? You might be a candidate. Need to build an indoor set for your next, hit indie film? We got you covered. A rehearsal space for your concert tour? Been there, done that…. Even the Boss himself has spent some time brushing up in one of our hangars before hitting the stage! If you’re not yet convinced, here are more reasons to consider MJC hangars for your next big event.

Photo & video shoots that take off

Since by definition, hangars are on airports, there’s a bunch of cool, built-in settings available at an airport including all kinds of photogenic planes and jets. And did you know that these planes and jets land on the longest private runway in the country? To have an exclusive and seemingly endless runway as the backdrop for your next big music video, or photo shoot – I’m not sure if another setting can even come close. Throw on a flowing dress, let your hair down and you’re ready to take off! 

Wedding venue for the unconventional bride

Finding the right venue is a challenge for every bride, especially the bride who is not the most traditional and who has a big extended family. If you’d rather not have your wedding at the local catering hall or a rustic barn nearby, consider an airplane hangar. It’s edgy, out of the box, and the best part? You can decorate the space in any way you’d like! Take a minute and just imagine how scenic your wedding photos will be on the runway. And of course, those guests from out of town can fly in and land right at your venue!

Concert rehearsals or private movie sets 

“The boss,” also known as music legend Bruce Springsteen, has indeed been known to rent out an airplane hangar at MJC to rehearse before a big show. Since we’re so close to his home turf of Asbury Park, it was the logical thing to do! He had more than enough room for his whole team to set up a mock concert stage. 

With that much room and privacy, you could also use one of our hangars as an independent film set. As mentioned above, the space can be customized in any way you’d like. You can build an intricate, sci-fi world like The Hobbit or keep it simple with an outdated workspace like that of The Office. It’s all up to you, director.

TURBOPROPS & TWIN PISTONS: KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

 We’re huge aircraft enthusiasts at Monmouth Airport. Over the years we’ve enjoyed seeing people experience the luxury and the convenience of private planes, and we welcome all flying enthusiasts to share our passion for traveling and exploring the skies. When choosing your aircraft there are many things to think about, and one decision you’ll need to make is between a turboprop aircraft or a twin piston aircraft. So what are the major differences between these two types of aircraft?

Turboprops

Turboprop aircraft are ideal for journeys that are less than 500 miles, and they can easily land in places considered less accessible like shorter runways and large grass fields. If you’re riding in a turboprop aircraft you can usually land very close to your destination, at a smaller executive airport for example, making the journey more convenient for you.

Compared to jets, turboprops are less expensive – from operating costs to maintenance costs to fuel costs and other expenses, they’re an overall more cost-effective option. Their lower costs are reflected in their size, as most turboprops can hold anywhere from 4 – 8 passengers, but that doesn’t mean they are any less spacious or less comfortable than twin piston planes. You’ll still be able to relax in style as you enjoy the ride. 

Twin pistons

Twin piston aircraft can hold up to six passengers, and they’re well-suited for short flights around 300 miles or less. If you’re looking to hop up and down the coast for a long weekend, or take an impromptu vacation at the Jersey Shore, a twin piston may be the best choice. These aircraft usually operate under altitude restrictions, meaning they can only ascend up to a certain point, which is yet another reason that twin pistons are an excellent choice for short trips.

Because twin piston aircraft have two engines, they can reach faster cruise speeds and climb faster than single engine planes. These aircraft can also access shorter runways, similar to turboprops, and they’re able to land at smaller, executive airports like Monmouth Airport. 

Invest in your own hangar space

Whichever type of aircraft you determine is the best for you, one thing is certain – having your own hangar space is a very worthy investment. Many large commercial airports do have aircraft hangars, but the waiting list can be long and you’re not guaranteed a spot. Choose a smaller executive airport and enjoy the convenience, your own hangar space, and on-site, around-the-clock aircraft maintenance.
