Patrick Swayze Hosts His Own Airport Photo Shoot

Patrick Swayze took over Gary/Chicago International on Wednesday to shoot an episode of his new show "The Beast." So far, we haven't seen any photos of him goofing off at GYY.

And the airport director says they aren't just filming inside:

I think they're using one of the repossessed planes we have out there, I think an older 737, for their shoot.

Luckily Swayze won't have to deal with passengers begging for autographs: GYY hasn't had commercial service since Skybus went bust back in April.

Very Funny, Johnny Castle, Now Get Back to Work

Patrick Swayze recently struck a pose not found in dance class on the set of his new television show "The Beast" in Chicago. Defying earlier reports by People magazine and others that he had terminal pancreatic cancer, Swayze put that baby in a corner with chemo sessions at Stanford and is set to star in the '09 series as a FBI agent whose new partner has a hidden agenda.

Is Chicago the new Vancouver in this economic climate? With the Canadian dollar around 97 cents to a Washington, high-profile projects like "Public Enemies," a '30s gangster epic starring Johnny Depp, have been taking advantage of the Second City. It doesn't hurt that the city just stood in for Gotham, either.
