Dusting Off the Cobwebs

Real World Aviation Spotting

It’s been a short while since I’ve done one of these, so let’s see if I remember how to do this. All of these are in chronological order (for the most part)

An Korean 777-300ER slamming it down on 10C after a flight from Seoul

American and American Eagle before and during de-icing in the middle of a typical Chicago winter

An Atlas Air 747 freighter ( :nerd_face: actually it says Apex Logistics on the side :nerd_face:) taxiing across one of the way too many taxiways we have

Suparna blasting it out. They had enough of Chicago and wanted to get back to the civilized world

Enough of making fun of Chicago. It does have a great variety of A321N liveries (AA, please send more. There’s only so many United NEOs I can handle)

The world’s most expensive snowblower doing its thing

American, I said NEO not CEO

I guess the 319 will do. It’s more rare than a NEO nowadays so they’re cool to see

And just to close off the topic, a United 787 Dreamcrusher getting towed off into Narnia

And on that note, I’ll continue going planespotting but I’ll probably forget once again for 4 months that I have pictures to share

Nice job capturing the skyline in the background of the Atlas shot. I visited there last summer, beautiful city. Unfortunately didn’t make it to spot at O’Hare.

Hey bro nice pics I will probably head up to O’hare but what would you rate it before I spend money as my wallet is almost empty :grimacing::grimacing: if you say it’s good I will go

ORD spotters trying to pick a runway is like @Butter575 trying to decide which photo is least backlit. They’re all the same.

I’d say it’s a great airport to spot at, but it’s not one to easily spot at. All the good spots are only accessible by car, so I’d consider it a necessity

As the great Scuderia Ferrari love to say, “we are checking”
