Chicago hop from (K)ORD to CGX in winter with a Electrea Model 10

It's a cold and dreary snow sky day in Chicago when we ferry hop from ORD to CGX (The old Meigs Field).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frankly it gets me cold all over again just to look at these shots! Air off the lake always feels colder than what the temperature really is!

Thanks Jan! It's actually a little more snowy up there than the sim shows. What you see there is about what I'm seeing in Ky. today. And yes, I do have a few oldies in my hanger as well. ;)

Fine shots of the Electra's short hop to Meigs Michael. The addition of snowy weather makes it even more interesting. :cool: :)

Great trip Michael. Always a pleasure to see a fine prop & CGX to boot!

Thanks everyone! I find I don't have nearly as much time to fly lately. So when I do it's usually fairly short hops. If they ever do another Around The World in Eighty Days event, there's no way I'd have the time to finish it! But then again, we had about a 80% dropout rate on the one I did fly.

 

As to the locations on this hop, sadly Meigs and the Navy Peer are more fond memories than anything else today. Some real estate people call that progress. :mad:
