Another shot on "short final".http://pookiedom.com/meigs/images/short_final.jpgThis looks like we're on the ground, but we were actually 2 feet above the runway since there's a $25 fee for landing at Meigs. We flew the entire length of the runway without ever touching down. Two days later they closed the airport (for good) and now I wish I had landed, but oh well ... this was still awesome ... and who knew, right?http://pookiedom.com/meigs/images/3_feet_off_the_ground.jpgThis is the other end of runway 18 (runway 36 is heading the other direction). You don't get this kind of picture everyday :)http://pookiedom.com/meigs/images/36_upside_down.jpgHere we are departing the traffic pattern to the north, on our way back to Palwaukee.http://pookiedom.com/meigs/images/departing_to_the_north.jpgOn final approach to runway 16 at Palwaukee Airporthttp://pookiedom.com/meigs/images/final_16_paulwaukeejpg.jpgThanks for viewing the show. I hope you liked the pictures. I remember when I first learned how to fly, I would always love seeing real pictures in this forum. So, this is my way of giving back to the community. :-halo

Great shots, I can see the lake is frozen over pretty good.

LOL imagine try to do your ppl out of there.. having to pay 25$ for touch and go

yes, truly great shots, how do they collect the landing fees, i never had a clue on how they did that, I love PWK, its great because it is busy. Most ppl see that as a downside, but i view it as a positive because you NEED to become proficient with ATC fast. Many people from smaller airports (Lake in the hills, etc) say they are nervous/scared/won't fly into PWK because of the traffic. when you regularily fly out of there, the ATC gets to be second nature, and your proficiency becomes much better as you need to pe precice with the jet traffic.
