Thanks for turning me on to AIM 4-3-2; it doesn't get much clearer than
that.

Is it possible that Waukegan has some special stuff going on because the
center of the airport is only 2 nm from the Chicago Class B?

No. Flying into UGN is as normal as normal can be. The class B is at 3600
feet which isn't really a factor. At the time of the accident UGN had no
radar which makes the NTSB report even more absured. The accident was used
as justification to get tower radar.

BTW: I'm not one of those "argument for argument's sake" dudes, I'm just
trying to make sure I learn and thoroughly understand this stuff. Thanks
for
your help!

Several years ago a flight of 52 near identical planes flew into Oshkosh as
a pretty tight gaggle. (Not during Airventure BTW) As we called in the
controller simply cleared each of us for landing. Didn't matter if someone
called in 10 miles out or 20 miles out, the response was "Cessna 12345
cleared to land." The controller made no attempt to sequence or separate
but simply stated "if you have to go around the procedure is such and such."
Really drove home the point we were each on our own as far as S & S was
concerned.
