Sorry for the short notice.... Meigs fly-in tomorrow. Once in a lifetime event. We plan to be there. I was told that I do not need to file a flight plan or pre-arrange US customs even though we are flyin in from Canada. CBP said that they will just meet us there, and since there is no fuel on the grounds, they are willing to let us siphon some from their cruiser.

Meigs Field (KCGX)
1400 S Lynn White Dr, Chicago, IL (map)
One of our most ambitious fly-in events! The Northeast Pilots Group cordially invites you to join us as we visit this historic field on the lake in Chicago!
The plan is to meet at noon at the FBO, which means a somewhat early departure for many of us, but well worth it! We'll stroll into town and possibly meet the inculpable former Mayor-For-Life Richard J. Daley!
Following that, join us for our fly-in rampside barbecue at O'Hare (KORD). This is a great opportunity to practice touch-and-goes as you can probably get in 3 or 4 in a row without leaving ground effect thanks to the 13,000 foot RWY14R/32L!
This will truly be an experience never to forget! Hope to see you there!
Flight Notes: Use the DALEY Arrival route. The IAF is the JERKK intersection, which happens to coincide with the former mayor's house. The MCA (Maximum Crossing Altitude) is 150'. From there, follow the STAR to the field.
