natdm Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Just a quick flight past the Chicago skyline via the VFR flyway. Now just a minute from our sponsor, Ridge Wallet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M20F Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Got to get out and touch the skyline! This is believe it or not is on a IFR clearance into 06C (East to West over top of ORD) when I was commuting between 47N and Chi town. At 0230 they let you do anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to get closer. I should have just asked for vectors past it. They were super chill at 11pm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANCECASPER Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Great views!! Two of my favorite landings were at Meigs Field back in the 80's. (January of 1988 in a C-172 and August of 1989 in a Grumman Tiger) https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/day-shut-down-meigs-field-180952788/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiC Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 If you like this kind of things (I do) and miss Meigs you can still go to Toronto and land along the shoreline. Gorgeous views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "park" is little used vs. "THE" GA destination to fly into. C'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Meigs in my logbook. Landed there a week after I bought my first Mooney in July of 84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
