Well, at least the sun will likely penetrate to the back of his hangar when the door is open…unlike the relocated temple at Abu Simbel in Egypt!

Angier,

 

The Sun at the Beverly Municipal Airport in Massachusetts, on December 21^st noon Eastern Time, will have a magnetic azimuth of 200 deg and an elevation of only 26 degrees.  Even without the calculations I’ll take a bold guess that it will be “freezing-ass-cold!”

 

Hope this helps… J

I'm about to begin hangar construction at Beverly Municipal Airport -  KBVY.  :-)  Placement of the door will be to the south but I'd like to be a bit  more specific than that.  So for those of you who may be skilled in the black art of trig and  celestial navigation, here is the brain teaser.  What is the magnetic bearing of the sun at noon on December 21st at  location:

 

42-35'02.55"N / 70-54'35.43"

 

Thanks in advance!
