Boston area

Paul,

I haven't been in the area for a while, but I learned to fly in Norwood
(OWD) and it's a wonderful airport with very nice runways and a control
tower. The onsite restaurant (Prop Stop, IIRC) serves great food.

Mansfield (1B9) is close by, no tower and has one paved and one grass
runway. It also has a nasty cross wind due to the way the runway is cut out
of the surrounding woods. Well, at least it was nasty for a student pilot -
haven't been there since.

While in the Boston area, I highly recommend you take a hop over to Katama
Air Park (1B2) on Martha's Vineyard. A great grass airport with wonderful
food. Just the takeoff from there is worth the trip. (I made this trip
pre-9/11, so things may have changed).

Also make sure to try and catch a ball game at Fenway!

Have a nice trip,

CGP.

I'm planning a VFR week-end trip this spring in Boston with my 172.

1. Is it feasable in spite of the numerous TFR ?

2. Wich airport to choose.. KBVY (Beverly), KOWD (Norwood), or any other ?

Any suggestions ?
