If it's Wednesday, this must be Chicago... pt 3
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:19 pmWell, I had a little time today to see about maybe doing some flying... thought I'd check out nearby 1C5, aka Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport... there is a flight school/FBO there, and supposedly they have a Champ, which I though might be fun to try.
But I was almost out of time when I finally found the place (got extremely lost- took a left on Plainfield- Naperville Road instead of Naperville Road- LOL!)... and things were getting a bit ugly:
I didn't even really have time to go inside and talk to anybody (needed time to get lost on the way back, just in case
), but I did pause to take a snap of this very well-restored T2 Buckeye.
I found out more later about this field and its upstart museum- check it out:

I might stop by tomorrow and poke around some more... wx is supposed to be worse, but who knows? I might do some flying.
Next-
