Yes, the aviation newsgroups and mailing lists have been on fire over
this topic since early this morning.  It's very sad, especially for
the people of Chicago: they have lost an important part of their
city's waterfront and a big chunk of its history.

Just be happy that Daley isn't mayor of New York or San Francisco, or
you might see the Chrysler Building or Alcatraz coming down next.
Note especially that this was done in the middle of the night with no
prior notice -- even the FAA didn't know until after the fact.


All the best,


David

We don't need to talk about the fact that this happened (trusting that
page that I don't know) and what caused that (or what is claimed to
cause that). I think everybody has strong feelings about the current
politics in the USA - so, as Curt also said, we should leave them out of
this mailinglist.


So, I'm wondering, how long it'll take Microsoft to change their
standard airport and give it the correct texture...

CU,
Christian
