Call the Signature FBO to find out what the rates are. There are landing fees, ramp fees, service fees, and parking fees, and they're all double digit.

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. "Paul" wrote in message news 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 ? -- Paul |

Last time I went to MVY, I noticed in the AFD that Katama is only attended
May - Oct. Not sure whether that means you can't land there during the off-months or not. "carlos" wrote in message ...

Hope I'm not too late....
If you go to BVY, stay on the west side, not the east side. Gas there is expensive as hell, with added high city taxes. O fly out of LWM, about 15-20 miles from Swampscott, but a very nice place. My favorite place with absolutely NO hassles is 2b2, Plum Island, about 20 miles north near the new hampshire border.

If you are going to Danvers, it's hard to beat BVY, but if I was looking for a place to park to head into downtown I'd give OWD a shot. If you're going anywhere on the south side (Braintree, Hull, etc...) then OWD is a no brainer. I'm not terribly familiar with the area. If I were heading for Swampscott or Swampfred or whatever, is BVY the proper choice? - Andrew Don Paquette PP-ASEL N9723X |

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but are you stating that there are no (or reduced) taxes on the west side of the field as compared to the east side? How could that be the case? - Andrew |
