I hate to admit that I live here.


Someone or organization needs to take that guy out ASAP!

Tell Daley he can HAVE his no-fly zone. But that it has to include
Midway and O'Hare, since they are in or very close to Chicago as well.
And only very big planes have been used to take out buildings, and
little planes have been shown to be ineffective for that purpose.
Hizdishoner's an idiot; he vandalized to oblivion the best GA airport
Chicago could ever have.

This is the gratitude for receiving a helipad, get your V-22 license
today!

Say wha? Is there a helipad somewhere? Did Daley put one in? Can
someone else use it? What the heck are you talking about? I'm kinda
curious.....

"The city's acting aviation commissioner says Chicago wants to put a
helipad on a slab of concrete adjacent to the marine safety station
north of Navy Pier. It would give the police and fire department
helicopters, located in a hangar along the lakefront at 95th street,
easy access to the downtown area in case of emergencies.

But companies like Boeing, with corporate choppers, will be able to
drop off and pick up executives under a financial arrangement that will
help the city defray the cost of the helipad and possibly enhance the
city's business climate.
.....
City officials say the private helicopters will be closely monitored,
so they won't pose a security risk.
"All pilots have to file a flight plan, follow rules from TSA, get
pre-approval," Harney said.
Business choppers may have to jump through a lot of hoops. But there's
no control tower in the downtown area to monitor their movement, which
seems to fly in the face of Mayor Daley's fears about airborne
terrorists. But the mayor was not talking about the issue Friday.
As for the helipad, the estimated cost is less than $100,000, and it
still needs a variety of regulatory approvals before it becomes a
reality, perhaps as early as this spring."

I hate to sound cynical, but it sounds to me like hizzoner wants to be
able to land in a helicopter near downtown, and for his well-heeled
friends. IMO, It has nothing to do with security.

NW memorial hospital is nearby, the pad has to be attractive for their
clientele.
The pilots of the well-heeled better be well-prepared, the nearest fire
station is 3 minutes
away on Columbus Drive. (In a real emergency, Colum. Dr. could be
closed off and used
for mulitple landing sites in Grant Park; remove the traffic signal
masts and planes could
land too...JG)

All that is to have an FAA sanctioned, published helipad. As far as I know,
there is nothing stopping the city from putting in a slab of concrete and
allowing helicopter operations with no FAA approval. I hadn't heard the "All
pilots have to file a flight plan, follow rules from TSA, get pre-approval"
comment. Obviously, this would not be true unless they also got a TFR that
covered the same area.

Eventually we will have to strike. No pilot flying any kind of aircraft
will fly into or out of one of these ADIZs until they are removed.
Scabs will have to be dealt with in the usual manner. I see no real
alternative.

Isn't that what they want?

The only way this could possibly work is if AIRLINE pilots refused to go
to any of the cities so restricted. When the airlines can't fly there,
people will notice.

He did say "any kind of aircraft".
Won't happen. Didn't Boeing just move its headquarters into that area,
or is my memory in need of a reset?
