low-flying planes?

Last night at 2am I was woken up by two low flying planes. I thought logan had an ordinance about planes not taking off/landing at certain times. Any idea what this was about? (Don't think it was a dream....)

Actually, they will let a plane land whenever it shows up...there's not much else they can do with them.

Probably the plane my nephew was on last night. They landed quite late because of weather problems elsewhere.

I was once on a plane that arrived at Logan at about 1:15am because it left New Orleans really late because some fuckhead in the emergency exit row decided to pop open the bulkhead. At least he did it while we were on the ground- I give him that much credit.

2 and 3 am arrivals on horrible weather days aren't uncommon at all.

I think there's a couple of cargo jets that take off late-night from Logan as well- probably FedEx and UPS.

I'm still skeptical that anyone in Somerville can hear a plane landing, because they don't open the throttles as far as they do for takeoff. This must have been a takeoff or something especially weird.
