If you go to the live.com site, just click on the "Bird's Eye View" icon on
the legend to the left. Great view of the prison. Also, it looks like it
went up pretty quickly because there are about six aircraft still "stranded"
at a hangar! Could this be one of Chicago's King Daley's side projects??

And yes, I know these aircraft are probably not flyable...

Sounds like something AOPA might want to put in their presentations on
airport closures. If you're a member, you should drop them a note.

You might be right...
Here's a link from Live Search that shows what the area looked like back
in the mid 90's:

Here's a link to Google maps and what the area looks like now.

You can clearly see the new prison in place of the old airport and also
displaced
is an aviation maintenance school.
