Would be a shame - it's a great urban airport and a frequent destination ⚡

Maintenance flight out of 100 hr inspection - repo to home field - great day to fly

Never been there, but I did once fly to Meigs. It will be a loss for the city.

Not to mention the site of one of the best, non-military, base airshows in the country.

Short trip yesterday to KSGH, Springfield, Ohio. Active OH ANG facility but no flying units other than occasional transient RPA.

Parked next to a couple of Jet Provost aircraft. Both airworthy and both for sale at $80k each.

@mad dog will appreciate the crew car!

That's a large part of how I ended up with gold wings on my chest . . . Dad and I going to the Cleveland Airshow every year to see the Blues or the Thunderbirds. Lots of incredible memories there as a kid. Even a MiG-29 demo in the early 90s after the Cold War ended.

I was there for the MiG-29s. Pretty surreal seeing a couple of Fulcrums with red stars on the tail being escorted by a couple of F-16s.

While everyone's making jokes, I'm nerding out like an Intel weenie, playing where's Waldo with his police cruiser ?

Utilizing open source Intel (pictures on AW) as well as photos sent from my deep reconnaissance team (@mad dog and @ChuckMK23) I’m confident the house marked here is the Honda Monkey, scooter, go cart, cop car motor pool. Send in SEAL Team 6!

Which makes one wonder. How big is MDs garage. All that plus the Mustang and Mrs Mad Dogs motorcycle, MD's bicycles, and I am assuming Mrs Mad Dog's everyday transport. What gets left out in the snow and hail?
