CGX closed (WHY!)

My wife and I have flown to Chicago for the Blues Festival several
times. Each time landed at Meigs. Actually my first "real" IFR
flight after getting my Instrument rating was to Meigs. Wife was
looking to see who is playing at the festival this year, and I asked
her why. Then she said "oh yes, I forgot."

I haven't.

Can I land my Husky Seaplane on the lake at Chicago. Maybe at one of
the yacht harbors?

I guess you never heard of the Museum Of Science And Industry. It belongs to
the Chicago Park District, which is also under the iron fist of Daley.

They have a submarine and they aren't afraid to use it!

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

Like Saddamn Hussein getting 100% of the vote in Iraq's 2002 election.

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).

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.

He would have if security had anything to do with it. Security was an excuse.

Keep in mind that the ballot does NOT have a box marked _NONE OF THE ABOVE_

After a 4 hour delay last night (which is 3 hours longer than the usual
weekly delay I experience), There should be a box marked _CLOSE_THE_AIRPORT_
;-)

I had to fly (commercially) into OHare last weekend enroute to White
Plains, NY. I felt like I betrayed my fellow pilots by doing so.

As we departed to the north, over the lake, I had a perfect view of
what little is left of Meigs. I couldn't look for long.

That was my first and last view of Meigs. What a sham(e).
