Why fly over the lake at all. Now that Meigs is gone you can fly along
the shoreline under the Class B shelf between Gary, IN and Kenosha,
WI.

Even when Meigs was there, it wasn't a problem to fly the shoreline. The
tower dealt with as many transits as they did with landing operations.
None of the towers along the lake gave us any problems. We have
extended conversations with the Gary controller (we seem to get the same
one most times). We even stopped in at Gary for a bathroom stop one
year.
