As such, it is not unlikely that mayor Daley's act of terrorism (done in the name of security, by the way) has operational impact. Hopefully by October, Meigs will be operational and this will be moot. However, if it is not, it will be very difficult for me to bring myself to attend. (If it were anything less than ARIN/NANOG, I simply would not attend).
If anyone wants more information about the destruction of Meigs field, please see http://www.aopa.org. Please send any comments/questions to me off-list. I suspect the rest of the group doesn't want to hear the flames/etc.

Actually I'm glad to see it brought up. As a fellow pilot I am equally appalled by the mayors actions. I agree completely with the boycott and would like to see this brought to the attention of the city that ARIN/NANOG may have trouble attracting members to Chicago due to the terrorist acts of their mayor.
A little quick on the gun with the "Terrorist" label? Is everyone you disagree with in public office a "Terrorist"? So don't fly to a Chicago airport, stay in a Chicago hotel ( there are plenty in the suburbs not too far outside the city ). There's quite a few GA airports around the area. Palwaukee airport in the NW subs is decently sized. Lake in the Hills airport is about 10 minutes from where I live, so maybe you could hitch a ride... ;) I for one am glad to see Nanog in Chicago, as in the age of dimminishing travel budgets I will actually be able to attend rather than try to watch an intermittant video stream. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ Director, Engineering | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net
