Thank You

The Midway Airport Historians would like to thank the Blackhawk Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. We were recently contacted by the president of the chapter regarding some old airplane photos. The group acquired an old photo album that contained mostly train photos but tucked in the back of the album were several pages that contained photos of aircraft including many that were taken at Midway Airport! The chapter president graciously donated the airplane photos to our group. We are in the process of digitizing the old pics and will soon add them to our photo archives and post them on our Flickr page. Look for them shortly.

Also, we were contacted last week by Missy M. who recently came across her father's collection of 8mm movies. Amongst the home movies was a reel mostly shot at Midway Airport in 1958 (the first minute was taken at Glenview NAS). We've posted a link to her YouTube video on our page under the "Videos" tab. Thanks for taking the time to digitize the film Missy and thanks for sharing with us. You and your dad helped preserve a piece of Chicago's aviation history!
