Since Dr Peter keeps trying to turn this pilot site into an aviation site , I thought I’d share a really great website. You’d be surprised how many of us drive over, live on, or shop at places that used to be an airport. Kind of depressing actually.

I used to live near the Glenview Naval Air Station. That was the first place I knew I wanted to be a pilot, when I saw the Blue Angels perform in their F-4 Phantoms in the early 1970s. This site has a fascinating history of that field.
