    MAHS meetings are held in the Mass Port Meeting room on the 3rd floor (Rm.329) at the Civil Air Terminal at Hanscom Field, Bedford, MA on the second Tuesday of each month. We usually have 20 to 25 members attend each meeting and we start our business meeting at 7:30 PM and aero-programs at 8:15 PM  All are welcome.

    Directions: Hanscom Field is just off Route 95/128 exit 30 on Route 2A heading West, Follow 2A as it bears left toward the Field. About two miles along you will see an overhead yellow blinking light at the entrance to Hanscom Field. Take that right on to Hanscom Drive. Follow that road and the signs to the Civil Air Terminal. The access road bears to the left to a stop sign. Through the stop sign, over the top of the rise, and the Civil Air Terminal will be right in front of you at the bottom of the hill.
