Meigs Field was the “home airport” for many of the earlier versions of Sublogic, and Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS).

When you launched FS on your PC, your plane would be sitting on runway 36 at Meigs.

“Simpson equates bulldozing Meigs with similarly “autocratic” schemes greenlit by Daley’s father, Mayor Richard J. Daley, such as ordering police to maintain law and order among protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, resulting in violent clashes.”

Might as well say that Simpson equates 2 with 4.

I never knew that. I played MFS as a kid. Interesting.

I played the SubLogic Flight Simulator on multiple computers.

It was simply wonderful, at that time.

I remember that too, we used to play the original SubLogic FS and later Microsoft FS2 on the old Apple ][+. I was in high school in 1982-85 and we played that a lot. I remember running into the Sear Tower and then seeing a splotch saying "CRASH!" on the screen. I liked flying across like Michigan, it was kind of a peaceful flight.

I remember...and still have.. the original MS Flight Simulator from the early 1980’s. It was magic.
