Hey I'm looking into taking a trip to the Chicago Auto Show this year and if possible fly in.
I don't know Chicago terribly well, the website says it's at McCormick Place on Lake Shore Dr. Are there any good GA friendly airports that would have public transport right to there?
I'd rather avoid big places like Midway especially with high fees/gas prices. If it's the same difference I'd just go ahead and land somewhere I can park for free and get a rental car. Also being a low time VFR pilot in an Archer I'm not terribly excited about jumping into the same pond as the big fish....
Also being that this is in winter, the ability to plug in my pre-heater or be parked in a heated hangar should we get stuck overnight would be a plus.
The only airport I've been to in the area is KIGQ in Lansing, nice place with friendly people and free parking with fuel but I don't know that it's the best location.
