 There is a fair amount of G/A activity here including some Learjets, Challengers, Falcons, small Cessnas, and a few Beech 200's. There is also some military activity here, primarily during the week. The CT National Guard has several a/c based here including some nice Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II's.
-For cargo, UPS and FedEx fly here. FedEx flies some 727's. I'm not quite sure on what UPS flies in there. To catch cargo action, you need to be there early in the morning, usually between 7 - 9 a.m.
+For cargo, UPS, FedEx, and Airborne Express fly here. Fed Ex typically operates two A300 freighters [http://flightaware.com/live/findflight_route.rvt?origin=BDL&destination=MEM fo/from Memphis], and one A310 [http://flightaware.com/live/findflight_route.rvt?origin=BDL&destination=IND to/from Indianapolis].  UPS commonly operates two A300's [http://flightaware.com/live/findflight_route.rvt?origin=BDL&destination=SDF to/from Louisville].  Airborne Express usually flies one 767 [http://flightaware.com/live/findflight_route.rvt?origin=BDL&destination=ILN to/from ILN].
+Bradley is also occasionally visited by DC-8 and DC-10 cargo freighters, and a few times a year sees AN-124 traffic.
+BDL is frequently listed as an alternate airfield for traffic to New York or Boston.  When airports in those cities experience bad weather, it is not unusual to find some transatlantic traffic diverted here.
