He did get fined actually and the FAA was pissed so was the AOPA, Daley really pissed off a lot of people by doing that, the big thing was
he didn't give notice to the FAA at all and he also did it overnight, not in the middle of the day when most construction takes place, but in
the black of midnight, so he was full of shiite from the moment a construction truck hit the tarmac, unfortunately everyone gave up on
getting Meigs field back, the best part about this story, since Daley didn't give notice of the closing, a beechcraft bonanza, and 9 other
planes had to enter holding patterns over Meigs, i believe one plane was stuck there for about 8 hours before they were cleared to land at
KMDW, i sure would like to speak with those pilots
