2:53 Fun fact: Tulsa, Oklahoma had the world’s busiest airport in 1929 reason being because it was located roughly halfway between the east and west coasts when planes weren’t capable of non-stop cross country flights.

Challenge: Replace runways with water. Just have a long stretch of deep water surrounded by the ground. (if its possible)

Try landing the 737 you made with seaplane wheels on it

If you want to play around with your A-380, B-747, C-5, and AN-225, you want to land at O'Hare, or period correct Broadview (today's Hines VA hospital). Midway once after O'Hare opened darn near shut down from a lack of everything because of a shift to O'Hare by the City of Chicago. Midway was really designed before anyone really had an idea what air travel could possibly be. The reason Midway didn't go the way of Broadview Airport was all the industries and the massive Belt Railway of Chicago hump yard (which are actually visible in your video) were dead set on staying in Bedford Park, Illinois. This meant that Midway couldn't really grow with the times, but during the time Midway was falling, O'Hare was growing and a few industries had left Bedford Park, Illinois, but not enough to allow Midway to grow. So that's why Midway hung around all through the mid 1960's til the early 1980's as a dump until Mayor Jane Burne was able to get airlines into the renovated Midway Airport and the rest is history, as they say.
About 15 to 20 years ago, they had a Southwest 737 loose control and ram the fence around the airport and kill someone. Midway is not for the squeamish.

2:19 bro is in that video when the bird starts dancing with the a380

Please do not recreate SWA 1248 every time you come to Midway Airport

A 560 ton aircraft vs an unpaved runway it’s goodbye landing gear
