    Thanks guys!! Yea I got really lucky both retros were at ORD on Friday, and I was also lucky that the winds were out of the west. That makes spotting there a lot easier!

    Thanks Sergio!! yes the retros were just an added bonus to the already healthy variety at O'Hare. Definitely the best airport I've ever spotted!

    Just for clarification, all these awesome shots...they were only obtained because you joined the ORD Spotter Group correct?

    Thanks man!! The winds for these 2 days favored landings on 28R/27L/27R. The spot for 28R, the USG lot, is public so you can be there without being a member. For 22L departures, that lot is private, so for that I had to have my vest on. When I'm down there, I just wear the vest and ID all of the time anyway just to avoid any potential issues.
