Airplanes are a great way for people to travel. It makes sense that thousands of people use airplanes to get to far away distances in a short amount of time. When you do have an airplane, though, it is important that while they are on the ground they are being taken care of. An airplane, while grounded, is usually kept in an airplane hangar. The hanger needs to be large enough to store all of the airplanes, as well as store the things needed to maintain the airplane.
