For all of you who enjoy the microsoft filght simulator series, Meigs field is the starting airport in the game. The airport is now being demolished by the mayor of chichgo.

I saw that. Looks like the Mayor had a agenda to build a park and was going to do it come hell or high water. Going in during the wee hours of the morning was really uncalled for.

The mayor's arguement was lacking in facts. He wanted a park and not a airport. Security to his city from GA was never a issue.

Even the FAA questioned his action and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association is going to fight his action.
