Pirep needed: Boston Airports

I'm based out of Mansfield. We currently have no glider or parachuting
activity, quite a bit of training however. Also I think if you check we
have a GPS and NDB approach. If you need VOR, then Norwood is your best
bet.

I'll second for Norwood -- I landed there on a trip to Boston a couple of
months ago and had a good experience. The airport is a 5 minute cab ride
from the Route 128 train station, so it's easy to get into town (or down to
Rhode Island) from the airport. At the time, parking and gas were
reasonable, and it's just outside what I think of as the Boston Security
(i.e. B.S.) zone, so it doesn't have the landing fees, security fees, prop
lock requirements, etc.


All the best,
