| Flights are directed by wind and weather, it is merely an inconvenience as most flights actually take off and land over Concord and Bedford, rarely outside of small aircraft take off over Lincoln, those are facts that can be proved by FAA data. I find it funny that we have people who want to complain about noise to secure their conservatism of their air space over the ability to provide a service to the local communities who benefit the most and get the most noise from Hanscom: Bedford, Concord and Lexington.
So people who live on an ordinance of 2 acres of land and push affordable housing to that area of Lincoln and not next to Codman Farms and the MBTA center want to shut down operations of an FAA regulated air space because of noise a couple times a day maybe. I lived in Battle Road Farm and the only noise I ever heard that was consistent was @4am with the MedFlight helicopter, otherwise it was dependent on the wind for takeoff.

John Gregg Sent from my iPhone The fine is set by the FAA and they are immune to citizen’s concerns over noise, esp. at small airports like Hanscom.
But, you should still file a noise complaint…in fact, file many as that does show up in an official record.
It’s infuriating!

From what I gather the private jets pay a trivial fine of ~$500 for flying in and out late at night. I would imagine that fine could go up if enough people complained.
What bothers me the most is when they leave an airplane running with its engines blasting for 30 minutes while sitting on the ground. It’s very annoying.
Sometimes there is a very loud plane and we don’t see it on the plane app. I guessed that is an air force plane but someone please correct me if that is wrong.
What should we complain about? Are they allowed to fly at all hours? Are there limits to where they fly? I don't want to complain if that is what is expected. I agree that the amount of traffic has really increased recently, and they seem to fly at all hours of the night.

The Hanscom Airport Noise Report Line is 781-869-8050. It’s a recorded line and they take all your information and the time of the noise so they can respond and track complaints.
