Thanks for all the information about Framingham.
Haven't gotten the job offer yet, but hoping.

BTW, what are the hangar rentals going for in that area?

(Sound of hand hitting head) Durn it, I LIVE UNDER THE DOWNWIND LEG for 14
at Marlborough and I never thought of it. As others have mentioned, it's
small and has really high trees at one end and a chainlink fence (with a
stop sign on it) at the other. On of my flying buddies took his 63 Bonanza
in there once. He keeps telling the story of how all the old-timers came
out to watch when he left. He asked "What? You've never seen a Bonanza
before?" and they replied "We just want to see the crash!"

Marlborough never ocurred to me because it's not lighted and has no IAP.
Of course, if you want to fly at night you could just land on Rt 20, like
those guys in the Warrior a couple years ago (Ran out of gas, at night,
Boston App. vectored them to Marlborough the nearest airport which they
couldn't find - go figure - so they landed on Rt 20 the main drag in town.
One tank was empty, the other full.)
