1.5 <strong>Airport</strong> Buildings<br />

Terminal Building & Hangar<br />

The present day terminal hangar consists <strong>of</strong> a steel frame<br />

aircraft hangar with a corrugated steel exterior. The overall<br />

dimensions <strong>of</strong> the building are 160 feet across the front and 80<br />

feet deep; the hangar is constructed on a concrete slab<br />

foundation. This hangar is in good condition.<br />

The interior <strong>of</strong> the terminal building has been recently<br />

remodeled and consists <strong>of</strong> a reception area, passenger lounge,<br />

pilots lounge, conference room, pilots briefing room, and<br />

FBO 2 <strong>of</strong>fices. The second floor includes FBO <strong>of</strong>fices, an FBO<br />

Terminal Building and Hangar<br />

The terminal building currently has electrical and telephone service that is provided from <strong>Airport</strong> Road.<br />

<strong>Plan</strong>s are underway to install wireless internet service in the terminal rooms for itinerant pilots, airport<br />

management and for general public use. There are separate water well and septic disposal facilities<br />

serving the terminal hangar. The main terminal was constructed sometime between 1972 and 1976.<br />

North Hangar<br />

The North Hangar is located adjacent to the old terminal<br />

apron (now the bus station) and was formerly leased to<br />

Telford Aviation from 1980 to 2000. Prior to that time,<br />

Air New England leased this hangar to store and maintain<br />

its DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft when it provided<br />

scheduled passenger air service at WVL.<br />

The North Hangar now serves as the airport maintenance<br />

and snow removal equipment (SRE) storage building.<br />

The hangar is a steel framed building with corrugated<br />

steel siding that is 90 feet across by 60 feet deep on a<br />

concrete slab floor. This hangar is in generally good<br />

condition, however the steel sliding doors have become<br />

very difficult to operate. The north hangar has electric service<br />

from <strong>Airport</strong> Road.<br />
