A question to all you IL.guys.

How has flying down the Chi.lakefront changed since 9/11?

Now that Meigs is gone - we no longer have to talk to anyone, although
because of traffic, it is always a good idea to get flight following
from Approach.

I have not flown the lakeshore for a few months, but I believe there
is now a soundstage for the concerts held on the North end of the
field. Even in an emergency, I am not sure you could land
successfully on the field.
