That's great! It never occurred to me that this whole problem is *because*
Moore AAF was closed down. It's a great suggestion for STN to get the
airspace made inaccessible to aerobatics like they want- reopen the
airfield, and put a few E-to-the ground instrument approaches in! Seems to
me the "No airlines/FedEx at Hanscom" crowd should be all over this, too.

I'm not defending the way these people are dealing with their issues,

the pratice area for the KBED-based flight school which is involved in

these

practically impossible to live in eastern Massachusetts without being

near
three or four airports. It would be entirely unreasonable for

prospective
house buyers to consider that small plane noise might be a problem in

this
area.

If anyone is interested, the practice area in question is NW of KBED, N

of
the Ft. Devens MOA.


Yes the ironic thing is that the Fort Devens airfield (Moore Army

Airfield,
KAYE) would have made a lovely airport, especially for cargo operations,

with
excellent adjacent Rail and Freeway connections. The locals made sure

this
never happened when the Army Base closed.

So now we have two large runways with X's all over them. (State police

use one
of the former runways for high speed driving training).

With Moore field closed, the local airspace is available for a training

area.
