ORD 2/13

[captmjk16]

I was able to take a trip out to Chicago over Valentine's weekend. Naturally part of that weekend included some plane spotting at ORD, but what was not expected was the single digit highs. While it was painfully cold, the clear skies and crisp air made for some really fun spotting, which was shared with many of the locals who also braved the chill to get some photos.

Thanks for looking!

[jerslice]

Nice!

[megatop412]

Excellent set of shots Mark! No heat haze that day

Some nice catches there!

Thanks guys! It was a fun day, and heat haze was certainly not a problem... frostbite on the other hand was a real threat!
