Old photos from the Chicago area

This postcard site is turning out to be a great resource for old pictures of not only old aircraft, but also old airports. All these cards are for sale to anyone that wants them. They have great cards for all the old baseball fields in the Chicago area.

Brings back memories of my first flight at 6 years old. My mother "air mailed" me to my grandparents via Midway to Kansas on TWA. I can still remember my mother walking me out on the tarmac and climbing the steps to the plane. She spoke with the stewardess and kissed me goodbye. The stewardess took me by hand and got me seated. She then pinned a gold (Plastic) set of TWA pilots wings to my shirt. Upon landing she took me by the hand, across the tarmac and delivered me to my grandparents. Good Memories   :)
