Illinois airport map prints
Illinois is prairie, flat enough that runways can point wherever the wind and the city allow. Chicago O'Hare International lays eight paved runways at 680 feet, six of them east and west, the longest 13,000 feet, and Chicago Midway packs four runways in two pairs into a tight square of city at 620 feet. DuPage west of the city carries four runways as well. Downstate, General Downing-Peoria International runs 10,104 feet, Quad Cities International at Moline 10,002, Chicago/Rockford International 10,002, and MidAmerica St. Louis at Belleville, shared with Scott Air Force Base, 10,000. Decatur, University of Illinois-Willard at Champaign, Abraham Lincoln Capital at Springfield and Central Illinois Regional at Bloomington-Normal each keep two or three runways near 8,000 feet. The ground barely moves: Cairo Regional at the southern tip lies at 322 feet and DeKalb Taylor Municipal, the highest paved public field, at 913.

Flying in Illinois
Flying in Illinois is flat, open and busy near Chicago, where O'Hare's eight runways and Midway's tight square sit a few miles apart, and quiet downstate, where the fields spread out across corn country. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
