Schaumburg Regional Airport

[beaky]

Had a little time Thurs. to stop by 06N (?)... too bad I was low on funds and not feeling so hot (shifting to a night schedule, etc)... it was a PERFECT day for flying.

Now Chicago's been hit with a whopper storm and it will most likely be rainy and/or snowy until I leave monday... sigh...
Well, at least I had a fantastic lunch at Pilot Pete's, and did a little spotting.




Some classy glass; I believe these belong to the flight school I was considering for a little dual. I'd like to do a rental checkout in one of these while I'm here; never flown one before.






Gorgeous Cessna 320 (320? huh...)





Another classic: Navion.



An older Cherokee with some recent wingtip mods... interesting.





Another classic Cessna; really nice 140(120? ).







Not the best position for aerial shots, but I sort of captured this departing Diamond.




Cirrus warming up for departure:






Some sort of test run-up going on here; the brick building to the right

They sure can afford the nice ones in Chicago, eh?

That Cherokee is neat. Almost like reversed winglets.

Great shots, Sean!!

 Looks like the weather turned out nice.

 Some really nice GA they have there.

Nice line of Diamonds, I've been to Schaumburg many a time, unfortunately not to the airport.

After a check of the trusty sectional, it says Schaumburg is 06C, just in case you were curious.

Very nice Sean, but the last picture is over 800 pixels wide!
Change it before the mods do!

Wonderful looking General Aviation Aircraft there Sean.

You got me drooling over that Cessna 320 in the second shot.  ;)

I just had to show that one to the old girl, she has not said anything yet as there are a couple of other ladies over right now.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Haven't looked it up yet, but what would you say the difference is between a 310 and a 320? Is it just a later, upgraded version?

I've often wondered that myself so I finally investigated. http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/Cessna/C310.htm

Nice selection of shots there.
