Good Spotting!

AIRLINE:

I heard on the news this morning that Westover Air
Force Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, will be one of
the mail refueling points for commercial aircraft that
transport troops to the Persian Gulf in the upcoming
conflict.

This will probably open the doors for some good
spotting, if it is allowed by the military. After
reading here that Northwest Airlines is one of the
majors participating in this cargo drop, I bet they'd
have some impressive equipment.

Anyone in this area presently?  What is the aircraft
situation there now?  According to the Internet, they
have two runways 300x11000 and 150x6800 or roughly
there of.  From what I could tell, this airport
resembles Hanscom AFB in that the runways are used by
civil and military a/c.
