Busy skies over Schaumburg

Postby beaky » Sun Nov 12, 2006 9:59 am

The hotel is close to the site, and both are very close to 06C and O'Hare, so there's always something buzzing around overhead.
These are from the hotel or the restaurant, taken over the last few days... not all good quality, but whatever. ;D

Quite a battle between these two gulls, over the pond beside the hotel... I think the prize was a Tater Tot. ;D

Nice, you should drive a bit to the east, the interstate goes right under the extended centerlines of O'Hare and, you get some St. Maarten moments as the heavies land and take off.  It's really amazing to go in the evening or at night and just see the seemingly unending line of landing lights go off into the distance. :)
