I volunteered for a few months on the restoration of their B-29. I used to
watch for an hour or so coming and going. There would always be a half dozen
cars. I haven't been since 9/11, but I've been told you can't park there
anymore.

Don't know if I know the area you're talking about.

I dunno. I used to park right off the end of the runway at BDL. Planes
would
be maybe 200' over me on final. Can't do that anymore.

I think the parking area off Rt 20 is still open to the public. That's
about as
close as you'd want to be to a landing 747.
Of course at BAF, the National Guard would rather just shoot you
instead of chasing you off.
