8. Frequently, they can't land at Tweed

There's a lagoon that produces fog next to the Tweed runway. There's no one in the control tower after a certain hour, it gets controlled from NY. If it's windy they don't land, if it's foggy they don't land.

Usually, they'll circle over L.I. Sound, and eventually go land at Bradley outside Hartford, or Albany, or Binghamton, or somewhere else. The next day you see short "hops" coming back to Tweed with the passengers if the weather is good.

I hate when they fly north to get into the southbound airways, especially when they wake me up. I'm 12 miles north of the airport.

The first time they flew to Chicago, I was watching on ADS-B, and thought I'd go outside and watch it. I thought they were going to trim the trees. No idea what they were thinking that day.
