Mot much info yet, but as a general rule, you don’t get a lot of large planes or advanced military stuff at Hanscom. Helicopters, private jets, that sort of thing. It’s more of a small civilian airport than military, though, of course, it is a military base.

I used to work a mile from there. Used for Presidential fly-ins before Obama, to mitigate traffic problems flying into Logan would cause.

Of course traffic problems are for the bitter-clingers.
