As someone from Boston, whose entire family is from Boston, it makes no sense to move forward with this private jet airfield! Massachusetts has to set the example in the climate fight. We are out of time and catering to the desires of the ultra rich will not save you.

Increasing jet traffic brings terrible noise pollution. Even indoors with the windows closed, I have to pause in phone conversations while a jet passes. Luxury flights are not a good enough reason to destroy the environment!

Hanscom jet traffic is already an obnoxious burden to people living around the airport and under the flight paths. Don’t worsen the air quality and the noise.

Private jets are many times more polluting and carbon intensive than large public jets. Public jets are just as effective carrying "very important" people. (We all are just as important). No thought of penalty for this extreme overuse. All of us, including "important and impatient people" need to start prioritizing more than our personal comfort.

Med flights are important, but in other cases, private jets in this day and age should be limited to real necessities.

This is a highly inappropriate expansion at Hanscom at a time when addressing climate change is becoming more and more critical

There are already too many airplanes and helicopters around Hanscom Airbase flying overhead and creating noise pollution from early morning until well after dark. No more!

More planes in our area will be a travesty for everything we stand for to Protect our future and make it better for all.

Private jets are so bad for the climate we should not encourage them by expanding access for them.

This expansion proposal is ludicrous. Where is responsible leadership?

This is the apex of climate injustice. Deny the fat-cats the License to Kill and harm the vulnerable and people of lesser means with impunity to feed their egos and entitlement to externalization their costs on society.

Take a stand against the wealthiest individuals in our country ruining the climate and earth for the rest of us. We do not need more private jets and we do not need more development.
