Gentlemen -    

I'm planning a trip to Hanscom AFB (Boston area) early next week.    

Any recommendations on a place to tie down and buy fuel?  

Any place to stay away from?

Norwood seems to be the most GA friendly spot in the Boston area, at least the few times I've been into there.  Can't you get permission to fly into the base? It's only a ton of forms filled out a year in advance.

Norwood is nice, but on the south side of the city....read... traffic issues on 128....

 Consider airports on south edge of New Hampshire....

Hi Neal. I assume that if your business is at Hanscom, you can just land at Hanscom, can't you?  It's not exclusively an AFB; it's a regional airport, too. (I think Goulian flies out of there, doesn't he?) Besides, you're in the military so I doubt it'd be an issue anyway.



I assume that some RV builder there would be more than happy to have you stay at their house.



Anyone?

Hi Neal,

  

 You can land at Hanscom AFB (BED) and tie down there.  The base shares the field with commerical and civil aviation.  I used to keep my Citabria there and made the first flights in my -4 from there.  I've since heard there is a landing fee and gas is definitely expensive there, but one or both of these may not apply to you.  The next closest is probably Minuteman Airfield in Stow (9B9?), but no rental cars, nearby hotels, etc.  I now keep my -4 at Worcester which is about an hour's drive west.  Feel free to contact me directly if  you would like more help.

  

 Regards,

Neal,



Even though Hanscom is a civil airfield, the Air Force still has 

hangars, ramp space and an Aero Club there.  If you're TDY or even on 

leave, you can buy avgas, tie down and/or get some hangar space cheaper 

than anywhere else on the field.



I'm one of the club's CFIs, feel free to call (781 789 2768) or get in 

touch via private email and I'll be glad to help.

Folks - 



Thanks for all the suggestions, and my apologies for not responding

sooner.  I have jumped thru all the necessary hoops to get a HAF number,

so I can land at any AF installation.  But that's not always the best

answer.  Most don't have AvGas (Hanscom does, because they have an

AeroClub), and it's still a fair amount of hassle to land and even more

aggravation to launch from an Air Force Base, even with the clearance.  



I was hoping for a quiet little field with a few RVers to meet.   



But the Fates conspired against us and we wound up on the commercial

cattle car.  Probably a good thing, as we'd still be stuck looking for a

hole in the storms that have soaked the PanHandle for the last few days.

We'll try again in a few weeks 



Neal

Hi Neal. I assume that if your business is at Hanscom, you can just land

at Hanscom, can't you?  It's not exclusively an AFB; it's a regional

airport, too. (I think Goulian flies out of there, doesn't he?) Besides,

you're in the military so I doubt it'd be an issue anyway.



I assume that some RV builder there would be more than happy to have you

stay at their house.



Anyone?
