About the airport and its setting
Midway is one of Chicago's two major commercial airports, located about 14 kilometres southwest of the Loop. It sits on the flat terrain typical of the Illinois prairie, which means open skies and weather that can change quickly, especially in spring and autumn. Midway is known as a hub for low-cost carriers and is closer to many southwest-side neighbourhoods than O'Hare is to the northwest suburbs.
What to watch and when
The title places the camera at Midway, so you can expect views related to the airfield, runways and terminal approaches, though the exact frame is not described here. Activity usually peaks in the morning and late afternoon, when departure and arrival waves are heaviest. Winter snow, summer thunderstorms and low autumn light can all change the scene noticeably, so check the current conditions on this page before you watch.
