I need to make a trip to Boston soon (from NJ), and will need to get to
the
New England Medical Center for a meeting. I would appreciate tips on
best
airports, FBO's, transportation, etc. Thanks.

I know you said you'll be going to Mansfield, but be aware of
the landing fee at KBED, which was recently implemented.

Really? How recently? There's always been a landing fee there at night, but
did they start having one during the day as well?

I think the landing fee for transients began July 2003.
The one annoucement I can find easily said it would be a
flat fee of $10-$15 for transient and commerical aircraft
under 10,000 lbs. Somewhere around here I might still have
the letter telling me about hangar rent increases, custom fees,
and landing fees.

Oh ok, I didn't realize there could be a different fee for transients (I
only fly rental planes that are based at BED). Strange that the A/FD doesn't
mention a landing fee (except the one at night). But the fee is listed at
Massport's web site (http://www.massport.com/hansc/hansc_operating.html).

I guess they forgot to charge me since I was there a couple of months ago.

Don't worry, Massachusetts Port Authority won't make that mistake again, they
are installing a camera/imaging system to automatically recognize and record
your registration number while you're on the runway. They can then send you
the bill in the mail if you don't pay it at an fbo.
