Does anyone know where a Runway 17 can be found in the Chicago area? The nearest one I found was Grand Rapids, MI.

Yes, I am trying to land on every runway number...
 
Converse looks kinda cool, but he may want more than 1800', depending on the plane.

A google fu tip:

To start, examine the typical content of an airnav page.

Doing this, you'll find that a typical airnav page will include the state, such as illinois, and a phrase for the runway, such as "Runway 17/35".

So, just compose the following line in the google search box
"Runway 17/35" illinois site:airnav.com

Google will then return a long list of airnav pages, each one for an airport in Illinois having runway 17/35.

If you want another state, in the search phrase, just replace illinois with indiana or whatever.

Closest paved one I could find was Fort Madison, Iowa (FSW). Lots of 18/36 in this state. There's a grass 17/35 at C77.
 
Interesting question. Queried the AirNav database, found 47 within 300 miles of Chicago.

Here's a new challenge for you: land on every 17/35 runway within 300 miles of Chicago. At SDF you will need both 17R/35L and 17L/35R.
