Default Runway demolition at Meigs continues

The demolition of the runway at Meigs continued this morning, starting
at about 0630. I knew something was about to happen because the Alder
Planetarium camera has been off-line for a while. So long, Meigs.
We'll miss you.

Hizzoner had to act before any more Piper Cub terrorists detoured to
Chicago for sneak landings.

An annual convention with 12,000
attendees might have gotten their attention.


I doubt it. Daley is pathological in his hatred of small planes and those of
us who fly them.

Even after admitting that there was no security threat justifying his
demolition, Daley's Director of Communications answered my scathing letter
condemning
his act as terrorism by saying that they had a duty to "protect the citizens of
Chicago".

Yes he certainly is.
His next plan is to rid Midway of all aircraft except airliners. Watch out.
He'll claim this is in the interest of safety or something like that.
