It just begs to ask exactly what they define the shoreline as. 1 ft east of
the shoreline and you're good to go? Any why exclude Navy Pier and the
Park? I'm thinking this has Mayor Paranoid Daily written all over it.

When over the shoreline I'm usually more than twice that height.
Course if the engine quit....

....you'd declare an emergency and the TFR could go hang itself anyway.
Not that there's any good place to land within that space. From 6000
overlying that area you'd probably just make for Meigs and try for the
taxiway, right?

What do they call that multi-lane stretch of road, Shoreline Drive?
When I flew to and from OSH last year, I told myself that would replace
Meigs as my emergency landing area.

it's to keep the light aircraft out of range of the stormtroopers mayorD had
posted along the city boundaries... how'd that movie go?? "Escape from NY"

How much is left at Meigs? The camera on the planetarium has been
disabled for months, so there's no way to remotely get a peek. On the
other hand, news reports have been saying the park people have no money to
finish the rest of the demolition.
