______________________ 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. ______________________ I just got off the phone with the Illinois Governor's office and informed them I'd hold the entire Democratic party responsible if Meigs is closed. I told him I'd stop being a switch voter and would vote Straight republican forever if he didn't stop Daly. The Governor's office phone number is: 217-782-6830 Ed Burkhead Peoria, Illinois http://edburkhead.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Mike Dean Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 11:18 AM ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- AOPA has a picture, and more on the story. -----Original Message----- Mayor Daley ordered demolition to start under cover of darkest at 1:00 A.M Monday morning.Checkout the story at AOPA or at FrindsofMeigs.org http://www.aopa.org/ http://www.friendsofmeigs.org/ ========================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/ ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
