You're right, I was thinking of Miegs. I lov3ed landing there and
walking to conventions at McCormick (did I get that right?) place.


You got it right.

One of our fondest flying memories is taking the kids into Meigs
Field, not long after they re-opened the airspace after 9/11. We had
to catch a cab, cuz they weren't allowing ANYONE off the peninsula
(they even wanded my little girl) without being searched, and no
pedestrians, period.

We went to Ed Debevic's (a restaurant where the wait-staff jumps on
your table and sings, while having fun insulting you...) for lunch,
and just enjoyed the hell out of our freedom to fly.

I remember thinking, at the time, "I wonder how much longer this can
last...?"
