o, man! it brings me to tears - compare all this majestic grand scale to my condo backyard patio in MV where i'm trying to build up toward ultimate goal of 2 humans carrying octocopter (and at full scale it actually would hardly fit into the patio :)
Yeah, I was also thinking about that. But at the same time who would think about a business idea for small air ports otherwise? Also not many people rent to new businesses who might end up not being able to pay a bill or two on time (or at all). So yeah, you're right. It's an ad. But that doesn't make it a worse adventure, I presume. So I actually like it despite hating to see ads on the front page.
Hello, thanks for your feedback. I posted this because I feel like it is a very unique space/opportunity and is in the spirit of fostering startup progress. I guess many Show HN posts could be considered to be an advertisement. Usually it is an advertisement for an individual's skills or awesome ability. In this case, my wife's and my awesome ability is restoring a run-down airport facility and trying to make it into something more modern. A lot of hard work has gone into this space and I believe that this opportunity is a reflection of our hard work, just like a lot of the software projects out there.
I apologize if you feel like my intent is too commercial for the subject line chosen.
It's implicit in posting anything to HN that you think it's interesting, just as it's implicit that you're showing it. That's not enough to make a post a Show HN, or every post would be.
Hmm, October through May, snow blower included? On the plus side its probably great for focus, on the down side its going to be a haul to resupply mid-winter. Although with another outbuilding for supplies and pulling gigabit fiber from the Internet all the way out to the house, you could treat it like the Arctic stations and just work solid for 8 months.
Well they mentioned 40 minutes from Bozeman (for me that is a 'haul' just to get groceries.) but if it is that close to Livingston there used to be an awesome steak house in town.
The Paradise Valley generally receives less snow than other places in Montana. My wife and I drive a Prius year round and typically a grocery store trip is ~40 minutes round trip.
We're able to take the Prius on 95% of our winter drives.
This last winter was quite warm, we were flying kites outside over Thanksgiving with our extended family.

For example, blog posts, email signups, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they don't count as Show HNs.
This isn't something you've made that people can try out so it is not a Show HN.

EDIT: So, a few of you get together and propose a skunkworks project to your employer. Move to Montana for five months and kick some ass.
