Hunt Road property airplane
This is a property owned by the late George Nerhan at Hunt Road and Skyline. This picture shows a locally popular airplane which was previously located on incorporated town land. (This area is county land.)
Nerhan lived in Huachuca City for more than 40 years, owning many properties and businesses there. While some considered the collections of cars and other salvage items he stored on these properties to be eyesores and code violations, Nerhan himself felt that they were legal and not a negative to the community.
Nerhan was mayor from 2001-2009 and served for 12 years on the Town Planning & Zoning Board. His contributions to the community were many, including bringing the pool, improving the ballparks, and getting funding for new sewer lines.
