There is, or rather: There was only only Meigs, probably the
most unique airport in the US, if not in the entire world!!

I hope you will like the images:

Thanks Thomas for the great pictures.

I live only 40 miles to the west of Meigs and unfortunately only took
advantage of landing there a handful of times. At one time,
touch-n-goes there didn't cost anything.

However the real loss is that safety flying up the lakefront has been
severely compromised. I was able to use the Meigs tower to tell me
about all the other traffic that moved up and down the lakefront
trying to stay out of the way of ORD and MDW. Now, I prefer not to
even take that chance.

It too amazes me that Daley has done what he has down with no
impunity. You started your email by mentioning the fines proposed by
the FAA against the city. I hope that these are made a reality so
Daley can realize his actions have consequences.

Thanks again for bringing back good memories...
