Heavies @ KORD / Noon Rush / August 2nd

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

This took me a while to get out but hey here it is. So a few Sundays ago I got to go spotting at the beautiful Chicago O’Hare. I stayed for about 3-4 hours to watch the evening rush of heavies. I was posted up at the Metra Station right under the 28C ILS path, so I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed taking them. I was unable to edit these just an FYI

Cool photos!
I was there the 14th and had to taxi around the ENTIRE airport after landing on RYW 09L or as I like to call it the Regional Aircraft runway. It was cool, but I had a short connection time 😂
ORD is a great airport!
