What it's really like to fly the Chicago lakeshore at sunrise

Friends Flo and Ines from Germany are in town, so we decide to head to the lake and see the city first thing in the morning. Smooth skies and great friends come together for an epic flight and view of the city including the late great Meigs Field.

Meigs brings back so many childhood memories of playing Flight Sim. I'd always take off, weave through the skyscrapers, and land and Midway or back and Meigs (or at least try!). I thought it was my uncle's default because he lives in Naperville, didn't realize it was the whole game's default. This is one of my bucketlist tours when I get my certificate. Such a shame the way it was closed.

I dig the brief overlay you did of Meigs from MSFS. Cool effect!

[@RichWellner]

Thanks man. That was a fun effect to put together.

Neat video! I haven’t seen Chicago from this perspective before.

What was your altitude? I typically fly a little higher than this on a lakefront flight.

probably about 1500 MSL.
