Skylines and Skylights @KORD

Hello and welcome to another spotting topic of mine. It should not be mentioned that I haven’t posted a topic in a very long time, but here we are.

Firstly, a Swiss 777-300 departing for Zurich. I can proudly say the first picture was reposted by Swiss on their social media :)


Next, a United 767-300 probably headed for London as that’s basically the only city which sees the 767 from Chicago

Brand new 737-9 MAX planes do look pretty nice I must say

FedEx got sent down the taxiway furthest from any tower and far from the main terminal, but I won’t be complaining

Two United 787’s rotating toward their destinations. One in the new livery and one in the old colors


Aer Lingus being dispatched on their 20 minute long taxi to their gate

And finally, a United Express E175 which decided it’s going to pop in the evening light

That’s all for today. There are many other spotting trips which didn’t get a topic, but at this point it’s been so long I might as well just use those for spotting competitions.

Equipment:
Canon EOS 7D mark II
Tamron 100-400mm lense
Canon 55-250mm lense

Dope shots, welcome back!

Would’ve been just a 1 in 4 for it to be Zurich. Decided to play my luck with London 😂

At what location at KORD do you spot from?

These would’ve all been taken at big hill. Can be found on the OAW website https://www.ordairportwatch.org/

Lovely photos! (BTW, doesn’t police kick you out at that spot?)

Thanks! I never had issues with police/security if following proper protocol. The only time I did was when my OAW badge was expired

Is it worth it to buy the OAW?

I’d say it is. One time purchase of a $20 vest and $20/2yr is very cheap in my opinion

Are you allowed to go to any spots or just certain spots?

Sorry for the late response. The OAW endorsed locations are on their website. You can also sometimes find your own spots if you so choose, provided they’re mostly legal to be at Chicago O'Hare — ORD Airport Watch
