Old School ORD

[Polar742]

The Penalty Box is cool that its still noted as such on the airport diagram.

Yes, at one time, it was my personal ATM. :bandit:

What's the "Penalty Box"? I really don't know.

Anyone here old enough flying-wise to remember when ORD had named taxiways, rather than the standard alphanumeric system? Taxiways named Old/New Scenic, Stub, Bridge, Lake Shore, Bypass, Outer/Inner Circular, North-south, etc.

Yes.

It was always quite amusing to listen to the crew who was brand new to ORD stumble around and be beat up by ground...



Bonus points to those who can identify all of the airlines listed by code next to their terminals...

Its a holding pad located in ORD, used for when your gate is occupied or not ready for what ever reason. Just a place to put you while you wait.

Next time ORD Ground tells us to go to the penalty box, I'm going to say," over to the ATM machine".

Here is a little history about ORD...

At one time ORD was the second largest hub in the Delta system!

I knew I was forgetting one, the NE roundabout to the IL ANG ramp, the Air Force Scenic.
