I did a short flight from Bloomington Regional Airport in Illinois to Chicago Ohare Airport just as the sun was setting. Hope you enjoy!
Welcome to Bloomington Regional Airport here in central Illinois. We entered the terminal and made our way to the plane for today. The plane is a CRJ-200 Operated by American Airlines. The aircraft is 16 years old! An oldie indeed. This small regional jet will be our transportation today!
We were 1st since we had boarding group number 1. We entered the plane and headed to the back. Like the WAY back. We were in the last row, but i had a great view of the left wing.
We pushed back at around 7:10 PM. We were running 10 minutes ahead of schedule. We began our taxi out to Runway 20. The engines began to roar and we started moving.
We entered Runway 20 and started rolling down the runway. The engines roared since i was in the back of the plane. We barreled down the runway before lifting off the runway. We lifted off around 7:20 PM and we headed to Chicago!
Cruising at 17,500 ft we were enjoying the flight. We only cruised for 5 to 8 minutes before we started our descent to Ohare. We were making great time and we were expecting to arrive 10 minutes early.
We were on our final approach path as we neared Ohare. The pilot prepared the flight attendants for landing and we continued our final approach.
Touchdown Chicago! We Touched down very nicely for a CRJ. The air time was around 30 minutes and we landed 11 minutes early. We exited off the runway and made our way to our gate.
Our gate was in the middle of the airport, gate L1A and we taxied for about 6 minutes before we saw our gate.
We parked at gate L1A at around 7:45 PM and deboarded the plane. It was jammed trying to get out since the plane is so small, but we made it out of the plane and into the terminal.
We entered the terminal and looked out the window of the terminal. The ground crew was busy getting our bags off the plane and all the cargo was being unloaded. The CRJ-200 isn’t as bad of a plane as people think. I’ll be considering another flight with this beauty again soon!
