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!

Hi robbie,
very cool! You may have some dreams tonite of call signs like speedbird, cactus, or clipper…
maybe with heavy thrown in at the end…
i flew navajo’s and aztecs in there in the late 70’s.

Very cool… Reminds me of the times we took a Sonerai into O’Hare for an open house, A cub into Midway And the Sonerai 1 Into Arlington Park racetrack all… with a handheld radio!

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
