Thanks for the info. I got up @ 4:30 AM yesterday to check the weather, but
as I suspected it was below minimums and expected to be so until too late to
make my meeting. So I flew @ 55 knots and 0' AGL for four hours to get
there by 10:30 for my 2-hour meeting. Sad, but just part of aviation. Next
time, perhaps I will be able to get off the tarmac. The airport looks nice,
though.

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.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks. I just got a call from the guy I have to meet with. Turns

out
he's
a pilot and wants to meet me at Mansfield Airport.


fwiw, Mansfield has only a VOR approach as best I remember. Should you

want
something a little more convienent, think of Norwood -- you'll drive by

it
on
the way from Mansfield to the Medical Center.

There used to be lots of glider activity at Mansfield.

BED is still the best general aviation airport serving Boston's fringes,

but
for planning purposes, if you and your airplane are suitably equipt,

don't
overlook Logan.
