The Bay State pioneered American history and higher education.
Fun fact: First public school in America was founded in Boston in 1635!
Logan (KBOS) anchors New England flying while Hanscom Field (KBED) hosts a strong corporate-GA base; Cape Air's Hyannis (KHYA) island hub keeps short-haul flying alive, and the Collings Foundation's warbirds preserve vintage aviation in Stow.
Best season: May–June and September–October are best; winter Nor'easters and summer coastal fog and thunderstorms bound the season.
Airspace: Boston (KBOS) Class B extends widely with defined VFR corridors; Cape Cod and islands traffic, Otis ANGB ops, and frequent presidential TFRs complicate summer flying.
