Took a cross country flight from Cincinnati, OH to Chicago today to build some XC time. This was my longest flight yet and it was a blast!

Climbing out of MDW. This was an amazing sight! Sorry about the quality - iPhone sucks in low light.

Took a city tour of Cincinnati on the way back to I69. Chicago definitely makes Cincy look tiny!

Cool pics!

Did you do a trip around the skyline before heading out?

I can't go anywhere near MDW without running over the lake first.

Thanks! No, I was so nervous about being in such a busy area that I didn't bother asking. I wish I had, though. Next time...
 
2009 Sweepstakes plane.... I take it you work for Sporty's. And another question.......

what are you doing putting miles on my a/c....:D

Nice pics
 
Oh man... I LOVE Gino's East. They have the best deep dish pizza in chicago. Did you write anything on the walls or tables while you were there?

Nah, we didn't have anything to write with. There are some interesting things written if you look hard enough!
 
What time were you at Gino's. Zap and I ate there last night. Watch out for the pepperoni in the glass.
 
Cool pics, nice job. The hell are they gonna change the name of the Sears Tower to??? Let me guess, Daley Tower.
 
They're changing it to the Willis Tower...a bank from England has purchased it and per the lease agreement have the naming rights...as a Chicagoan I am thoroughly not impressed and will not recognize it as such!!!!

UNLESS they add Bruce in front of it!!!!
 
Haha, okay then. I thought Sears sold the thing a LONG time ago... but the name stuck.

I mean really though, that's like trying to rename the freakin Atlantic Ocean and hoping the new name catches on.
