Prefabricated Steel Airplane Hangar in Panora, Iowa

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., designed and manufactured this steel airplane hangar in Panora, Iowa, in early February of 2005.

The steel building now functions as a commercial airplane hangar on the expansive, 75-acre grounds of the Guthrie County Regional Airport, a public airport that first opened in 1992. The airport has a 3,400-foot concrete runway and sits about 3 nautical miles east of Guthrie Center, Iowa. It has fuel available onsite, and it also has a clear green beacon that helps pilots locate the runway after dark.

Affordable, Long-Lasting Aircraft Storage Solutions

Available in a wide variety of spans and widths, prefabricated metal aircraft hangars can easily accommodate planes and helicopters in a variety of sizes, and with an assortment of different wing spans. Airplanes and helicopters are valuable investments that require careful, reliable storage, and these affordable, fast-raising storage buildings help aircraft maintain their beauty and functionality in the event that their owners wish to sell them sometime down the line.

Part of the Des Moines – West Des Moines metro area, the city of Panora is home to scenic Lake Panorama. Located in central Iowa’s Guthrie County, Panora sits about 65 miles from Ames, Iowa, and about 23 miles south of Jefferson.
