Nice ones Erik and it's good to see you.  How's life been?  I was wondering who would be the first one with this plane.  Is it up to A2A's standards or PMDG?  I got so tired of wasting money on planes that are just eye candy with 50% of cockpit functionality.  If someone could come up with a good quality helicopter in P3D v5 I'd be happy.

Very nice shots.  Chicago and old Meigs Field look very nice.

 

Thank you John! Days are getting warmer but my sim is still frigid :)

Somewhere... across the sea...

Great tour to an airport we rarely see here, Erik. If no Corona I would have visited it last year.

 

Oh nice, too bad you missed out on the chance. I like the area - it has some interesting winter weather - good for practicing IFR flights.

Thanks Graeme! Nice spot for practicing some landings.

Gone because the Mayor's wife wanted a park - politics at its finest.

 

Yeah - and few people realize it was an airport! Glad there's a sim version.

Thanks Jackson! Yeah, it's a pretty darn good airplane - especially being freeware. Every button clicks and each knob twists. I've picked this plane to practice some IFR flying as it has got a good pack of avionics. Documentation is great too, easy to get into flying it but then you can dig in deeper with the actual checklists. Cockpit a bit blurry in some parts but oh well. I'm not good at flying helis but they're fun every once in a while. Life's been keeping me moving - I'm home in Germany currently looking for flying work across the globe. Hope you're doing good too?

Thank you Mike! It's a fun way to buzz around between smaller airports!

I´ve been there in winter as well, when windy city earns its name. Unfortunately even in IFR conditions I got stucked in O´Hare for many hours, so the practice did not pay off!

Thanks Erik, fine as can be waiting on a knee replacement.  The pain is mostly unbearable.
