Flight into O’Hare Wasn’t Hairy at All by Charlie Littwin, ICS #14089 On Tuesday, March 21, Patti and I departed Lake Norman Airpark in North Carolina for a business seminar in Chicago. Rather than paying for a cab or a rental car from a “reliever” airport, we committed to the challenge of flying the Comanche into O’Hare Airport (KORD). A fuel stop was made in Bloomington, Ind. where we were delighted with the exceptional service provided by Cook FBO. After topping off at $2.68 a gallon (a savings of $2.27 a gallon compared to $4.95 at O’Hare), we were off again with an ETA of 8:10 p.m. at KORD. Routing was fairly direct with vectors smoothly provided near the airport. Despite two requests for landing on 9L which was advertised on the ATIS, ATC decided we were going to use 4R, the farthest runway from the FBO. Full power on final to combat the 10-knot headwind, 150 knots, two-mile final, reduce power, slow down, gear down, green light and we’re down. Something we have never seen before were the lights embedded into the runway directing us to the requested taxiway turn off. The fun part was the three-mile taxi to Signature. I’m not sure who was more excited Patti and I while admiring the grandeur of the airport and the multitude of heavy iron, or the ground crew pointing to us as we taxied between two 747’s. 22 • Comanche Flyer SEPTEMBER 2006
