I agree entirely. It sure beats Stapleton with those terrible crosswinds. :eusa_doh:Novella said:I like DIA too - the whole mountain look is fun and the subway shuttle is so easy to use.

I was passed (like I was standing still) by a gorgeous yellow staggerwing, coming back from Reno one year. It was stunning...and fast!

Just a pipe dream at present, although I am restoring a '59 Cessna 310 (think Skyking). Not quite Golden Era, but a cool ride just the same. Actually, my partner and I are exploring the legal issues involved in obtaining the type certificate to the D17S Staggerwing and producing 8-10 new airplanes under the old type certificate. The idea is we'd each keep one and sell the others to cover the cost. If that does not turn out to be feasible, once I finish the 310, a Staggerwing will definitely be my next project. For everyday travel, I'm currently flying a rented Cirrus SR20. All the style of a plastic pickle fork

best-hmm..I like Chicago Midway a lot because its small and easy,
All in all though I'd really not spend time in any airport for very long. Never a 100% pleasant experience!
