Chicago O’Hare Takeover
KORD / ORD — Chicago O’Hare International Airport
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Departure: 10:00 AM CT
Hey everyone,
I’m putting together a big O’Hare event for November 14. The idea is pretty simple: get a bunch of pilots together and have aircraft all over ORD.
There will be flights at all of the main terminals, with different airlines, aircraft, and destinations. I also want to have ATC running during the event so we can make it feel like a really busy day at O’Hare.
The aircraft and airlines are based on real-world ORD operations. The actual event assignments are just for this flight-out and aren’t supposed to be the exact real-world schedule for November 14.

O’Hare was originally known as Orchard Field.
It was renamed Chicago O’Hare International Airport in 1949 after Lieutenant Commander Edward “Butch” O’Hare.
Commercial service started in 1955. Since then, the airport has grown a lot and has become one of the main connecting airports in the United States.

ATC Signup
If you want to control during the event, sign up below.
| Position | Controller |
|---|---|
| ORD_GND — Ground | — |
| ORD_TWR — Tower | — |
| ORD_APP — Approach | — |
| ORD_DEP — Departure | — |
| ORD_CTR — Center | — |
If we get enough controllers, we can split up the positions and have multiple people working the airport.
SimBrief
The SimBrief flight plan will be available on the day of departure.
The event departure time for every aircraft is 10:00 AM CT.
The flight plan will be available before the event gets underway so everyone has time to get ready.
Departure
10:00 AM CT
Every aircraft leaves at the same event departure time.
Aircraft will be starting from different terminals and concourses, so there should be a lot of movement around ORD once everyone starts pushing back.
Please be ready at your assigned gate before 10:00 AM.
ATC
ATC will be a big part of the event.
If you’re flying, keep an eye on the frequencies and listen to the controllers. With aircraft spread across the airport, ground and tower should have plenty to handle once everyone starts moving.
If you’re interested in controlling, use the signup above.
