Bill, A little different in Chicago... I dropped my wife and daughter for an early AM flight at Midway Airport here. It is the old airport in Chicago and surrounded by homes and neighborhood. I took along the 400mm hoping to get an interesting shot or two. I pulled into a bit of paved roadway across the street from the airport, where there was some space because of construction of a parking garage. I saw the perimeter security guard go by in an SUV. On his second pass, he spotted me and turned around to find an exit. I just packed up and headed to work before he could get thru the fences. Regards, Bob S.
