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…

https://news.ycombiinator.com/showhn.html 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.

That's correct. We've taken Show HN out of the title.

Is this really in the spirit of a Show HN post? It's basically an advertisement to rent someone's space.

While clearly advertising this space, it manages to simultaneously be an interesting enough proposition that I'd be sad to see it removed.

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.

We're thinking approximately $2500/month for basic use of the hangar and house. Please contact me directly for more details.

Damn, isn't that basically SF apartment rent?

To be fair, SF apartment rent doesn't include a 5000-foot runway.

Right. So it's a great deal. Even without the runway.

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.

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.

Not sure what you mean "haul". It's right next to Hwy 89 and only 10 miles from Livingston.

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.

SF apartment rent for a studio perhaps. This is a house, a hanger, offices, a runway, and some metalworking supplies. How much is that in SF?
