Thats a pretty short runway they have over at Midway. I think the FAA even has special rules for landing at Midway such as reduced plane weight, lower landing speed, etc.

I think the 737 might be the largest plane they currently allow to fly at Midway. I remember as a kid going by Midway when there was only General Aviation and maybe a couple of commercial prop flights daily. The big treat was they parked the Goodyear blimp there when it was doing a Chicago event, and it would be sitting in the same corner at 55th and Central. The neon sign would still be running. Made a 10 year olds day.

Pilot: "Yeeeow... that was really a short runway".

Co-Pilot: "Yah, but look how ~wide~ it is..."
