It is to weep.

It is so hard to view that picture. Meigs was *SO* cool, and such a
great place to land, I just want to cry when I see what King Daley
hath wrought.

Mary and I haven't been back to Chicago since his terrorist attack on
Meigs, and we never will return, so long as he's in office. I figure
if Chicago is populated by people so stupid that they "re-elect"
someone like Daley, they certainly don't deserve any of our money.

It's a small protest, sure, but I figure it's over $10K by now, given
the conferences and weekend getaways we've skipped. Multiply that
times 400K pilots...

A grass stip... how retro!

It looks like a grat place to build an airport. It would probably be
well used too!

What happened to all the boats? Isn't that prime moorage? I wonder
if King Daley decided the boats were a terrorist threat too and booted
them out...

I think you can carry more explosives on a houseboat than a 172...

The photo is likely from winter/ early spring, all the harbors are
full and more are on the way. Nyeah Nyeah...JG

island becomes a casino.

That site is to convoluted for high volume traffic access and too far
from transit.

The old empty central post office sits over I-290, a subway and near
commuter rail. It would be the best choice with potential for a nice
pirate battle on the river..JG

I was fortunate enough to have one trip into Meigs in November of 2001.
I had my passenger take a few pictures as we made the approach, but it
was just about sunset and it was a bumpy approach, so the photos didn't
really turn out. I was hoping to get another opportunity to take some
better pictures...

The fact that Daley got away with what he did really sets a bad
precedent that should scare every pilot whose airport is under attack
(which seems to be more and more every day).

It looks like they've put a concert hall and added a beach area. The boats
still seem to be there and they've converted the FBO to something as well
(maybe an office for the boat mooring?) See
