clear to go? Posted April 1, 2003 Report Posted April 1, 2003 See for yourself... http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2003/03-1-157x.html Quote
Skywrench Posted April 1, 2003 Report Posted April 1, 2003 Nope, not April fool's. From what I hear, the mayor was concerned with homeland security, since the airport is so close to downtown Chicago. There are some live webcams of the airfield at http://friendsofmeigs.org . There are a bunch of GA planes stranded on the ramp!! Quote
schteevie Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 If i were one of those owners with a trapped airplane, I would be pretty tempted to just take off from the taxiway... the airport was illegally destroyed - thats rediculous. Quote
YYB Pilot Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Thats a shame to see it destroyed. Looks very real, the Chicago Sun is carrying the story well past April 1st. So NO joke!! Darn shame to see that field gone, flight simulator is gonna have to get a new airport with a city skyline!! I nominate City Centre in downtown TO!!! Quote
