A plan to close a runway at Chicago Executive Airport is economically
driven and could pose a danger for single-engine planes, some pilots say. "It's apparent to us, the small-airplane owners, they don't really want us here," said Jim Loerzel, a pilot based at the former Palwaukee Municipal Airport in Wheeling. "All the improvements are geared toward corporate aircraft." Last week, the airport board recommended closing Runway 6/24, the shortest of the airport's three runways, citing Federal Aviation Administration concerns about a Montessori school being built near the runway and worries about its 50-foot width. .... Wheeling issued a permit for the school at the southeast corner of Capitol and South Drives. Last fall, the FAA decided that although the building was not in the protection zone, putting a school there was an incompatible use of the land. School officials said only a corner of the parking lot would be in the zone. "Protection Zone", more like private property confiscation zone..JG |
