I Met a fellow lifeline pilot, Tad who flew my passengers the remainder of their trip from Omaha NE to Terra Haute IN. Jeff and Shawna were a great couple to have along.
The Red Baron was here.
We stopped to pick up a passenger on our way home from Indiana and the Red Baron landed just after we did.
Fuel price is still ok

Nice little airport can sneak in under the Peoria Charlie.
Picked up a passenger on the way to Owensboro. Talked to FAA when on the way home.

Great airport! Great people!
I’ve been based here for years. Scott, the airport manager, and his crew do a fantastic job. There are 2 full time a&p’s on site. Flight training , fuel, or service on your plane - they can take care of it.
Nice place.
Brought out an elderly person for her Sibling Christmas 2.5 hrs by air beat a 7 hr road trip.
My favorite small town airport
I have landed here dozens of times to visit the in-laws. The first time was at night! It's a local family that owns it and offers good fuel prices. Tie down near the road or ask if there's hangar space. The paved strip is narrow, but there's lots of grass around it to use if necessary.
Fuel stop
Would like to see in daytime. Stopped in for fuel because 05C doesn't have after hours fuel.
Great gas stop!
Loved stopping here for gas, classic small town airport
Smooth landing
This airport had one of the smoothest runways I’ve landed on!
Narrow runway!
the paved part of this runway was only 21' wide!
The Best
Funny I was coming on here to testify about my experience about MEDALLION and how their team got it done for me regarding my low credit and debts, but seeing all these other persons also enjoying his service and talking about him I have nothing to say. I’m short of words. Amazing company. MEDALLION CREDIT GROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM.
Stay safe all
credit fix
Peace be unto you all. Pastor Bane here. Making a late payment on your credit card, mortgage or student loan is a big no-no. Late or missed payments can significantly affect your credit scores and overall credit health. And that’s on top of any fees you’ll have to pay. This affected my credit for about two years until I met MEDALLIONCREDITGROUPatGmailDotCom they got it fixed to an 820 in 12days. I am grateful to them. May we all be safe and healed from this dreaded pandemic imposed on earth now. In Christ name. Amen. Remain blessed
new gas tanks
looked like some brand new fuel pumps were being installed on 11/2/19
Great Facility
Good fuel prices and free courtesy car

I flew in today, the FBO is unbelievable. Beautiful with a very swanky pilot's lounge. I think I would get spoiled if I flew out of here regularly!
Farthest West... So Far
Landed here while doing my training hours when I had a Cardinal RG. Nice St. Louis area airport
First flight into and out of this airport
While I do have Midway listed as part of the airports that I have flown into and out of, this will, as of July 16th, be an official statement. I will be flying into and out of Chicago-Midway International Airport for the first time this coming summer.
Seating and charging outlets
Why isn't there more seating in C concourse? 2 hour layover, no available charging ports and very little seating. Kind of awful for one of the largest hub airports in North America.
Alternate
Joy ride while in Illinois
Nice FBO Fuel price OK
Visited my niece on the way to Lancing 2015
Grass strip
Crop dusting strip
Land with permission only
Bobby Gene was caretaker 2014
KDPA - DuPage, West Chicago
Excellent airfield and controllers.
re: Rossi's Farm Airport
You wouldn't want to do that in real life as it's a private "prior permission required" and as you might have seen in a recent comment on another such airport, landing without permission can lead to dire legal consequences if not outright violence.
Rossi's Farm Airport
I have landed hundreds of time with my Cessna 172 on this airport (on FSX) as a starting or ending point to Joliet Regl, Lewis University, Clow Int, Naper aero club, Brookeridge air park, Chicago Midway. I am an italian guy, and i live in Padova, Italy.

Great ATC Tower controller
I was coming in at night and the airport is very hard to find among all the other light clutter. A very patient tower controller turned ry30 up full and turned all the other runway lights off to make it easier to find.
Ground transportation
There's a station for the "L" train Orange Line in the terminal: ~25 minutes to downtown and the Loop.
Porter
This is where Porter Airlines flies from downtown Toronto.
Great AirPort
Nice People !!!
re: Why Is It ORD
According to the wikipedia entry for O'Hare (which I can't link as an anonymous coward) the airport was originally Orchard Field Airport.
re: Why does this helistop exist?
Reply to @ptomblin:
Nope, no hospital nearby. This is a municipal helistop and is in the middle of a large area of office buildings. My guess is that planners thought that there would be some helicopter traffic to and from the buildings and wanted to plan for general access instead of every building needing it's own stop. This, obviously, was not needed as the helicopter as a mode of everyday travel is simply silly for most people.
KFEP - Freeport/Albertus - Second Time.
Always like going into Freeport to meet up with the parents. Nice long strip, however it was short field landings today to maintain proficiency.
Bought gas here
Just a quick stop for gas on my way to Oklahoma from Oshkosh.
0C2 - Hinckley - Soaring, Soaring, Soaring
Windy City Soaring based at Hinckley (0C2).
Nice Grass Strip 2600x100.
Enjoyed a day of Soaring over North Central Illinois thanks to the Windy City Soaring club. Go check it out.
LOT - Lewis - Mixed traffic
Busy field during primary training with mixed traffic. Pattern always seemed full and extending downwind was normal.
C09 - Morris - Quiet Airport
Nice for practice field outside of busy Chicago airspace.
C77 - Poplar Grove - Hard and Soft
Great airport for both Hard surface and soft surface TO/LDG
1C5 - Clow International - First Starts
I started primary training here a long while back.
Home to A&M Aviation - excellent training and services. Thanks Al.
3CK - Lake in the Hills - Blue Skies Pilot Shop
Just an awesome training, flying service and friendly people around.
06C - Schaumburg - Pilot Pete's !
What else to say - nice airport with a great restaurant under a class B shelf
that's me standing there
we were looking at the work that was just done to the txy.
Pilot Pete's
Great airport restaurant
Chicago Meigs Airport
I can't believe the airport is closed. It was my default airfield for Microsoft's Flight Simulator and I have landed there hundreds of times and flown to and from O'Hare airport as many times. It's a shame!
re: Why Is It ORD
Reply to @XingR:
Actually the original name of the airport was Orchard Downs "ORD"
Meigs
I had the pleasure of stopping here in late 1998 before it was criminally bulldozed. Absolutely FANTASTIC setting. They even made us do a go-around while they shot the "cannon" at geese near the runway, so we got a bonus view of being in the pattern well below the skyscrapers!
code 86IL
The FAA uses '86IL' for Sharp Airport, Bethany, IL
Nice well kept airport
