Palwaukee Airport

Great website http://www.palwaukee.org. Similar secondary airport, here is a story about them and why we need to invite someone like Linear to ORH.


New technologies in aviation could make Palwaukee Municipal Airport a very desirable place to fly in and out of, and officials in Wheeling and Prospect Heights need to plan ahead to accommodate those technologies.

That's what the Wheeling Village Board, Prospect Heights City Council and Palwaukee Airport Board heard from experts in the aviation field during a joint meeting at the Radisson Hotel in Northbrook Jan. 17. Ken Ross, of North American Jet, brought in an expert from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and a retired economics professor to talk about the impact of new technology on smaller airports such as Palwaukee.

Very light jets are hitting the market this spring. These small jet planes will carry four to six passengers, along with a two-man crew, aviation experts said. These jets will be able to use all three runways at Palwaukee, and will ring in a new way people use aviation.
