This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Looks like two to me based on the layout. In an emergency, MDW isn't far off, DuPage has the second longest runway in Illinois at 7571x150 ft (after ORD), and Aurora has a 6501x100 ft runway. I know Hastert used to fly in and out of Aurora in what I believe was a 707.
