Welcome Bkonner. I live in the L.A. area, and you’re correct about spotting/commerical aviation not being a big hobby in the U.S. I have a single solitary cousin that I talk commercial aviation with, and that’s it. Mind you, I have a decent sized family. Every time I go up to Imperial Hill near LAX, everybody up there seemingly is British, either living in the U.S. or visiting. It’s too bad, but what can you do? I flew into/out of Logan once a few years back. I don’t remember too much of it. I do know that one of my favorite pics on A.net is of a BA 777 in the Landor livery taken at BOS. The backdrop of these old-school houses with snow on the rooftops is amazing.

Spotting isn’t nearly as popular here in the States but there is still spotters out there. I see them quite frequently on the approach end in Cleveland. Soon a resturant will be opening on the approach with an observation deck which will be really nice. Then you can sit back with a cold one and watch the inbound or outbound traffic. 🙂

I’ve spent plenty of time in Boston and the surrounding area. Gotta love the Big Dig.

“Real Cheer’s Bar”

Howdy,

The real Cheer’s bar is located accross from the Federal Reserve Bank building in down town Boston (take any Red Line train to South Station and walk north one block). But the show used another bar called the Bull and Finch Pub which is in the Back Bay which is located across from the Public Garden on Beacon Street (Cross street is Charles–take the Green Line to Arlington–B, C, D, or E train or get off at Government Center, Green Line (all lines) or Red Line (all lines) and walk down–west to the end of the Common) at the bottom of Beacon Hill. Too many tourists go there. Very pretty location.

Boston is WONDERFUL in the summer–hey it’s MY TOWN! We call it the Hub, as in “…the Hub of the Universe…” (I’m serious!). Horrible in the winter, unless you like 20 below C and lots of snow–looonnnnngggggg winter–finally just ending (God I hope!).

I used to go to Boston fairly frequently a few Years ago. The bar was/is called Cheers however the inside doesn’t look anything like how it did in the program. Had one beer and went elsewhere!

The set is in LA and the exterior is in Boston. It’s a real bar though, don’t think it’s actually called Cheers though ?

Been meaning to visit Boston for ages. If Northwest or AA ever reinstate the Glasgow-Boston service, I’ll be right over for a look at Logan International and Cheers Bar of course !:D

Any info would be great!

Howdy,

Thanks for your response. Living in Boston, there is not much to know about Logan Airport! I live down town, use it alot, lots of constructions (everywhere in Boston, GRRRRR!), and it never seems to get done. Logan has been a construction pit (generous!) for what seems now to be ten years!

Thanks!

First of all, welcome to the commercial forum
Don’t know much about Logan Airport, can you give us some information about the type of viewing areas in and around the airport
