The confusing thing is, I thought Madison was one of the most
politically liberal and anti military places in the country and
doubted such a fly in would be welcomed. I'm glad to be wrong, it's
good to know the warbirds were there and hopefully all those who were
uniforms were honored.

I wouldn't say anti military per se, but the town is anti airport and
because the hangars are historic, that saves the airport. *If it
wasn't for the historical value of the hangars, the airport would be
another Midway if the mayor of Madison had her way.

And yes, I did give my thanks to every uniformed person that morning.
Their service is truly not recognized and I felt privileged to at
least listen to their war stories, literally and figuratively

I think you may mean Meigs Field, that was Chicago's lakefront
airport. I think Midway is still in service.Meigs could probably have
been saved had it been renamed Daley International.
