      I don’t have any flights because I’m just a website. I can however point you in the right direction. Here is a free Space-A group for Hanscom https://www.facebook.com/groups/456559734427836/ and one for Westover https://www.facebook.com/groups/552906731391195/. Their phone numbers are included there. Neither of these bases has their own Space-A page so you need to call to get the schedule anyway.
      Also here is a link that explains all about how Space A works. It’s the best site that I know of for that. https://www.poppinsmoke.com/space-a-flights/. Of course, this site (my site) is still the best for planning purposes. Let me know if you need anymore help Chief. I will be sure to get the answer to you.
