Chicago’s Midway Airport

Chicago’s Midway Airport

I think I have flown into Midway only once.

Our flight today took off northwards from O’hare Airport, banked to the right and straightened out over Midway Airport. At that point, I realized something. It is a perfectly square airport with the main runways forming clean diagonals!

I do not think I have ever seen an airport with as much geometrical symmetry!

Dome Home

Barely a couple of decades back, this was a vacation home in an island. Now erosion has completely moved the sand out from under it. Two domes are in the water and four are still sticking out. I asked Captain Austin how long he things these domes will last. He did not give it more than two years or one more storm!!
