I have flown 72s in and out of Midway, and on a good day the pucker factor is very high. Trust me you do not try to grease the airplane on. You bang it in on the end of the runway and jump on the brakes and apply maximum reverse thrust. That’s on a good weather day.
Tonight, just glad I wasn’t trying to get in there.

Rumor has it that Mayor Daley already has the bulldozers and front end loaders staged and ready for demolition on 55th street.....

Really, what happens when an airfield that meets FAA mins, but the PIC decides that he wants to takes his 100 or so passengers some where else? Does some burley hitman get dispatched from management to off your ass? Do you get labeled a MILF, and get recurrent training?

If it was really 3000 RVR at the time, that is below mins for 31C. Technically, it depends where they got the 3000RVR call. Either way, they probably need to head on down to Mr. C's for a cold one.

How does that work? Touchdown controlling, right?

So if midfield was 3000 but Touchdown was 4000 they were good to go? Or am I thinking about something else?

You are right on. I think I lost a little hair and made my underwear a little too brown flying out of there at times.

You got it right...it's TDZ RVR that counts.

I'd have one, one for chasing down the next half dozen shots that are inbound.:0

Am I correct in assuming that is the one reported on the METAR? or would it be the lowest?

Sorry for the dumbass questions......its been a slow night here.
