By Private Plane
If you're flying your plane into Hanscom Airfield, Bedford, MA, and happen to be lined up for a midfield, right approach to runway 29, when you see the Concord River looming ahead, glance down and scope out for a quintessential New England tall spired church, and almost immediately to it's left, a rather spunky yellow building hard on a village rotary. That's us - the "Official Unofficial Aero Beacon" marking the way for pilots inbound from the North East. One local pilot suggested we ought to paint our name on the roof… Mmmmmm…..

Once you're at Hanscom Airfield head out and take a right onto Rt. 2A into Concord Center. Then follow the directions above "From Concord Center"

Legal disclaimer: All distances are best approximations only and at the time of extensive field research they reflect the current signage and road conditions at that particular point in time. No liability can be assumed if the state, towns or county changes route numbers, decide to finally fix potholes during your particular time of travel, you get lost or get stuck behind a slow bus loaded with sightseeing tourists from Kansas (which in no way suggests that folks from Kansas are any slower than folks from, say, Englewood, Florida). All of which may or may not significantly alter your overall travel time. There is no warranty, implied or otherwise. In fact, our lawyers would probably advise us to claim no knowledge as to how you got these directions in the first place.
