Sonex low approach at ORD - Chicago O’Hare

Postby Sonex1517 » Mon May 11, 2020 12:02 pm

It never hurts to ask and you can’t if you don’t try....

I politely asked Chicago approach this morning for a low approach only into ORD. Chicago O’Hare. They said yes and I got 28C.

I did it!

That was an AWESOME video Robbie! Also great job staying fast, if there's one thing I remember about ORD it's that they wanted best practical speed. The controllers will remember it for awhile, you'll remember it for a lifetime =D
