    Stopped at Hanscom to get my passbook stamped for the "Fly the Bay State Challenge." A few weeks later I got a bill in the mail for a "landing fee". The Fly the Bay State Challenge is designed to encourage pilots to fly to all of the participating a…

    Fees are outrageous!
    James K.
    Departed KBED on 7/10/23 early in the morning. Tower was closed, so I had to get clearance from Boston. I just got my bill for $93.05 for a night departure. They did NOTHING to justify a charge such as this! I will not be going back to this airpor…

    Great controllers, expensive services
    David L.
    KBED has terrific air traffic controllers. They easily sequence a high volume of jets together with a traffic pattern full of student pilots. They always do their best to help you out, and they do a damn fine job. Docking one star for the landing fe…

    GRRR: AOPA - the new Web site needs and Edit button. Anyway, my point is KBED is *not* a fourth-tier feeder airport (my rural comment mistyped!). For an airport less than 20 miles from a major city, KBED is really not that bad.

    After being based at Bedford for 4 years, updating my review downwards. The good: ATC is truly excellent. The tower handles a mix of touch-and-go student ops and G-IVs coming in IFR with ease. Snow removal is outstanding. I highly recommend East…
