Meigs

[Geofa 108]

Well I flew there the year before it closed (a couple shots from my copilot on that flight)-and I paid the huge landing fees/city taxes, high fuel price, and spent some nice money in Chicago for the day before I left.Chicago has lost a huge amount of history, one of the most beautiful airfields to land at in the world, and a lot of revenue from pilot's that used to fly there .I think it was a travesty how it was closed, and Chicago has lost a lot....I think it would be great if it was in the sim, if only to remind Chicago of what a brilliant place has been lost thru underhand methods.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/148549.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/148550.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/148551.jpg

Those are great shots.. IMHO, I think Mayor Daley should've been impeached for the manner in which he closed Meigs.. His closure of the airport was unlawful and in breach of a federal contract that would've kept the airport open until 2008 or 2009, IIRC.I still think someone should take him out of office, and then start the ball rolling for Meigs to reopen.. To be honest, I don't think anybody should be elected to office as many times as Daley has.. Heck, he was freakin' mayor of Chicago when the first Blues Brothers movie was made in 1980!!Sorry about the short diatribe, but I still get angry about this issue.

I miss megs field! it is too bad what he did to it.Anyway, I hope they dont take it out of FSX, because going by that criteria, you would also have to take out VHHX as well since it is now a bunch of commercially developed land
