If you will go to the website and look under Space-A Information you will see the most common places where both the MA bases fly.

Comment : Hanscom is near Bedford, MA, not New Bedford, MA. New Bedford is a different part of the state.

I went back to double check and it seems you are correct. I have never been there and was only copying information that I found online. I also see that Hanscom is a “non-flying” base. I’ll have to look more into the base. Thanks for letting me know.
