Anonymous flyer on Chicago Meigs Airport view thread | reply
 

I had the pleasure of stopping here in late 1998 before it was criminally bulldozed. Absolutely FANTASTIC setting. They even made us do a go-around while they shot the "cannon" at geese near the runway, so we got a bonus view of being in the pattern well below the skyscrapers!

The FAA uses '86IL' for Sharp Airport, Bethany, IL

The FAA uses 'IL50" instead of 'SIS6' for this airport

That big building across the street is probably a hospital.

Oops, didn't mean to imply that the airport was unusable... The E/W runway is 1800 feet long, and clear at both ends.
