Dave,

Your only real choices now that our former Mayor Daley closed Meigs Field are Gary, IN (KGYY) really not to far, Midway (KMDW) fairly close but busy and expensive, Chicago Executive (KPWK formerly known as Palwaukee), KARR (Aurora, IL) pretty far, DuPage (KDPA) pretty far or Waukegan (KUGN) really far. Airnav or your contract fuel provider can give you current pricing. There really are not great close in alternatives.

Subject: [MU-2 list] Chicago Visit

Looking to go to Chicago in a few weeks to take my son to visit some schools downtown. When I lived there years ago, based plane at Waukegan (KUGN) but we lived up by Gurnee. Since downtown access is the goal, I'm looking at other potential airports.
Calls to PWK and MDW reveal some pretty high fees ($100/night, etc.) even for CAA members. GYY seems to be fee-free but a bit of a drive to downtown.
Any recommendation from those who live in the area or fly in to Chicago regularly.
thanks,
Dave
