Welcome to the Boston area.

I'm probably going to fly out of
Hanscom (I've flown in there before and know it's busy).

I'm based at KBED and I don't recommend it as Massport is
NOT friendly to small aircraft. Massport turned the whole
stupid airport into a SIDA (Security id area). Everyone has
to be badged (at your expense) or escorted by a badged person.
Plus the ridiculous wasteful "security" requirements on the aircraft.
And the rentals at KBED have to be more expensive than at KLWM
or KOWD.


I'd love to hear from people who fly in the area and have advice on fun
flights to do locally - either sightseeing or $100 burger style.

I like flying to the north over Lake Winnipesaukee.

Sanford ME has a nice diner.

Lotsa people fly down to Marthas Vineyard or Nantucket.
KHYA used to have a diner on field, don't know it it's still there.

Flights out to KPSF or KALB can be real pretty.

I tend to bore long holes in the sky - flying out and back without
landing at the "destination"
