Did they shut it down this year or something?

Mayor Daley snuck in last night and bull dozed it without telling anybody. See www.aopa.org

Dosen't it bother you that just as you're trying to make a smooth touch down in an Airbus, the GPWS shouts "RETARD, RETARD" at you?

Hi M,

Nice tribute. I had written a long diatribe about my true feelings about this situation, but I deleted it. It just stinks what they did and I'll leave it at that.

Imagine my horror when as I watched the news before departing for school I turn my TV on to see images of a torn up runway at Meigs. As a native Chicago-Area-en I've grown especially proud of Meigs and its long history and heritage and I can't believe that the Mayor would blatently destroy the symbol of general aviation within this area. However, through all of this I guess the best thing we can do is continue to let Meigs live on in our simulators.

And for those who don't know there is a great, and very realistic Meigs scenery available for download here at FlightSim.com, definitely a spruce up for the symbol of Flight Simulation's underrepresented self within the game.
