I live in Lincoln near Hanscom. I do not have any fancy facts, figures and scientific data at my fingertips. However in recent years I have actually seen, heard and smelled more planes taking off, landing and flying over my house. Yes, folks, aviation fuel smells nasty! On top of my own personal observations, the climate situation in our state and our country is dire. We need to be cutting back on personal jet activity, not enabling more of it! NO AIRLINE/AIRCRAFT/HANGAR EXPANSION AT HANSCOM OR ELSEWHERE IN MASSACHUSETTS, please!

This proposed development will also disturb the historical landscape of Minuteman National Park, which its federal stewards and Massachusetts citizens have done so much to protect.

Governor Healey should weigh in on this issue.

We need to stop incentivizing private jet travel that only benefits the wealthy and hurt our climate goals.

This is an outrageous plan that will undermine all of the hard work area towns are doing to reduce their GHG emissions.

The planes landing and taking off from Hanscom are already such a nuisance with noise even at midnight. We live in a newer house even then; our windows vibrate whenever any plane lands or takes off there. Please stop this expansion plan

Encourage use of turbo props rather then private jets with aggressive landing fee structure.

This is something that would not benefit our community, it adds noise and air pollution.

This is just outrageous. The number of jets flying over my house is already a threat to the climate, pollution and noise. They are flying at midnight. Please put a stop to this.

Based on the number of responses, I'd say we could mount a spectacular action in Great Meadow that could be seen from the air! Maybe even satelite!!!

I oppose for environmental reasons. Super-emitters should have to pay for carbon offsets.

The landing pattern at Hanscom is near my house, and the noise from the private keys is intolerable. A ridiculous source of CO2 emissions, when we should be eliminating fossil fuels.
