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.


You go get 'em, Trace. You (and other folks your age) are the only hope
Chicago has for a bright, "Daley-less" future.

I was fortunate enough to fly into Meigs several times, and it was memorable
each time. After having flown that final approach to RWY 36 countless times
in "Flight Simulator," it felt curiously familiar -- in a surreal way -- to
be sliding down that glideslope "for real" to a gentle touchdown on that
beautiful peninsula. The skyscrapers on the left, and the deep blue of
Lake Michigan on the right, made for a picture perfect arrival.

And, of course, the time spent in downtown Chicago was priceless. Taking my
kids to Ed Debevec's for an "abusive lunch" was worth every penny we paid in
landing fees. (My 13 year old son, Joey, STILL talks about that flight...)

I still cringe involuntarily every time I think about bulldozers ripping up
that gorgeous, one-of-a-kind facility. :-(

The monster Daley must be crushed. In five years you can vote -- use that
power wisely, and influence everyone you can to do the same thing.

Take care,
