Born out of the long-running Hangar Flying community of the 1990s, Hangar Debrief takes a fresh look at aviation. It’s not breaking news for the sake of headlines — it’s about slowing down, digging in, and understanding what aviation is really about, in the hangar and in the cockpit. Each story blends narrative detail with technical perspective, giving pilots and builders a place to reflect, share, and grow. By carrying forward Hangar Flying’s decades-long tradition of connecting aviators, Hangar Debrief offers a space where safety, insight, and the love of flight come together in a way that speaks to today’s general aviation community.
