CHICAGO, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Chicago aviation officials say the Federal Aviation Administration was wrong to reject a request by Mayor Richard M. Daley to impose a no-fly zone for Chicago's downtown area extending in a 5-mile radius from Navy Pier. The FAA instead authorized a restricted area 1.5 miles in a semicircle around the Sears Tower.
