Stuck with Paint (and not much time) on a company laptop for now, so pardon the raw look...
Up at oh-dark-thirty Wed. morning to catch a 0755 flight to Chicago Midway... barely made it in time (security bottleneck; what else?). Pretty lousy wx...
We start taxiing, then park on the hard stand for an hour waiting for vis to lift to better than 1/2 mile at Chicago... cowards!
Taxiing to the active at last... woohoo!!
737-500, BTW... departs like a rocket ship.
Spent a looong time in the soup...
Then finally we're on top. Things were a bit unsettled even on top; the crew had to hunt aound for an altitude that would provide smoothe cruising. they were not entirely successful. No big- I like bumpy airliner rides; reminds me I'm flying.
An interesting cloud feature seen enroute:
