Meigs Field, in Chicago was closed late Sunday night when heavy equipment was moved in and portions of the runway were dug up. Chicago radio station, WLS, this morning reported that the runway was marked by a lighted "X" during the night and that large X's were cut into the runway surfaces. So far there has been no explanation as to the reason, or whether this signifies a permanent closure of Meigs Field. The "Friends of Meigs Field" organization is looking into the matter, but has nothing to report as of yet. http://friendsofmeigs.org/ As many of you might know, Chicago mayor Richard Daley has been trying to close Meigs for a number of years. And just last year an agreement was reached that would supposedly kept the airport open for at least another 25 years. ========================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
