I am thinking of flying into Hanscom later this week. If I do I will be
leaving
late (~10:30, before the curfew).

Norwood, LWM, or Beverly would be friendlier choices (for small aircraft).
Uncontrolled fields are also feasible - depends on your destination in
this area.

My questions:

1) What sort of fees are there these days?

2) What sort of security hassles has MassPort dreamed up recently?

Oh, just the usual useless nonsense. Every prop plane must have a
prop lock.

You cannot leave a door open on an unattended aircraft
(the door can be unlocked, you just can't leave it open).

Everyone in the SIDA (which is the entire airport!) must be badged
or escorted by a badged person - don't know how they handle
someone who has just flown in (I bet the TSA weenies haven't even
thought of that).

Only airport personnel can escort someone who has forgotten his
badge





3) Are there any extra problems geting to my aircrft after normal
business
hours?

Extra? probably not. Still, it'll be more hassle than at other nearby airports.
