This is sad. Very, very sad. It's bad enough that private pilots have to weather the insane amount of regulations that the FAA requires, but when cities like Chicago tear up a landmark airport, it makes me feel like flying in America is simply not worth the hassle. If it looks familiar, Meigs airport is the airport that everyone that has played Microsoft Flight Simulator starts out from.

What a great way to celebrate 100 years of flight. I'm sure Oliver & Wilbur would have been proud.
