John,
the only one that has been "shutdown" is the north south one by Dulles.
The other one is still available. You just need to file a ADIZ flight
plan and talk to the "friendly" controllers. ;-)

My understanding is that one could take off from KIGQ, fly 360 until
intercepting the easternmost VFR flyway, which roughly follows the
lake shore, then continue northerly in the flyway, and never talk to
anyone until reaching the Waukegan Class "D".

Am I correct in this understanding?



That is the point of VFR flyways.

There were several times I did that very thing in the Washington DC flyway
(before the ADIZ effectively shut it down).
