I am a bit surprised someone with a house placed like your uncle would feel it’s ok to light up fireworks under an airport approach path.

I am a bit surprised they let people be there. All that security and anyone can buy a gun and shoot down planes? :D :D :D :D

From his house, no I don't think a consumer mortar could hit a plane. The planes weren't that low.

But the area surrounding the airport is very densely populated. Given all those people, I'm not surprised some dumb kid (or adult) lit fireworks near the airport.

Also, most fireworks are illegal in Illinois. But it's only a 30 minute drive from Chicago to Indiana.
