CGX closed (WHY!)

Good point! Pawlwaukee it is, but the monster cant charge pilots for flying
over the lakefront, can it?

P.S. The monster is Daley

Oh, no problem. You can fly up and down the lakefront and over the city as
much as you want to. At least until the F-18's get a lock on you

You can fly up and down the lakefront all you want. It is actually easier
without Meigs in the way. Less security also without the tower to talk to.
I don't think the little guy thought of that.

I am ashamed and embarrased to live in the same state the govenor of Chicago
does.
What he did to Meigs was irrisponsible,childish, immature,cowardly and
increadbly retarded! For those that do not know what im talkin about, the so
called "mayor" of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, destroyed Merril C. Meigs field
without permission from the state or anyone else. last year he snuk bulldozers
on to the CGX runway and carved 4 Xs in the runway. In the morning plane took
off from the taxiway and the ones that coulnd were put on trucks. He says he
did because it was a "risk to Chicago" because of its close proximity to
downtown Chicago. Its taken me this long to realize that HE IS THE TERRORIST.
He caused pain, suffering, money, convenence and happyness to deteriorate among
us pilots. He must want us to host flyins and Young Eagle Rallys at O'Hare .
I am going to write letters to Daley and the Govenor praying for mercy to
reopen CGX. Its caseing the Chicago economy to drop and MDW and ORD to become
busier. Thats why IL wants a reliver airport for O'Hare, all the Genral
Aviation traffic is at O'Hare and Midway now instead of the "Prettiest Little
airport on the planet" So, what do you think, shoud we all write letters, send
E-mails etc.
And if you, could, tell some of your stories about CGX (those that have flown
there) it has bee a dream of mine since I was 5 and no because of that baby
Daley, I can't fulfill that. Neither could other pilots I would imagine.

Thanks,

Why is it too late? It's still closed, isn't it?

I thought the same thing initially - why now? But this is how it always goes
when gov't does something we don't agree with - a big uproar followed by
lots of opinion and hand wringing, until something else grabs our attention
and we put our energy into whining about that.

We need more people to keep moaning about it.

What about voting him out of office? If all the people in Chicago really
didn't support Daley, shouldn't they get out and vote? Or are you all afraid
of gangster politics?

Nearly all the people in Chicago do support Daley. Last election he won by
the largest margin ever.

Yup. With Meigs gone, you can fly next to the Sears Tower without even
having to communicate with ATC (as long as you don't come within 2000' of it
laterally).

Exactly. So the people in Chicago deserve all the ire pilots choose to toss
in their direction. But then, Chicago isn't exactly a friend to pilots (by
closing CGX) or passengers (by keeping ORD).
