Hanger utilisation
I am trying to find a computer program that permits one to draw in your hangar, and then drop in various aircraft, to see if they will fit, and how best to utilise the space.
Any idea, guys....
its windy out

In 2D just use any old CAD program. If you want it in 3D then it's likely to be expensive. You probably want to know a) that the planes will fit and b) they can be manouvered into that position somehow.
I believe car and plane manufacturers use some software to ensure that the car/plane they have designed can actually be assembled but I don't know if that's an off the shelf package.

There is Blender.
It's free. And though it can be complicated, if you'll be using it to any extent, it's worth learning.

For cheapness, I'd say TurboCAD, it comes free with a book on learning CAD (had it for my degree I think it was £25.)
If you don't know how to use CAD I'd suggest buying some graph paper drawing on your hangar space, and roughing out the aircraft you're interested in, one of Jane's books should be enough to find the plan view outline of any aircraft.
