737 from meigs

[Chris E]

ok, i was at a space center near my house, and they had a boeing 737 simulator with the whole cockpit there, and yet, they took us from Meigs field in chicago to o hare, and the 737 didnt even take the whole runway to takeoff, do you think that is realistic or did they edit some files?  cause i just have trouble seeing that happen, i know they messed with some settings, for instance i saw another group pull up going straight up and they didnt stall after flying straight up for several thousand feet, but i wasnt sure if a 737 could honestly take off in that short of space

Yea, sounds to me like they edited some stuff.

Chances are the sim only has the Chicago area, so they are very restricted to what airports they can takeoff and land from. You'd think they would at least takeoff from MDW, if it was there...

yeah, i had the feeling they did, but dont know enough about that stuff, thanks, still though, the cockpit was nice, cause you sat inside it and flew

Where is this space center btw? Sounds interesting

[Chris E]

it is over an hour north of chicago, not sure exactly where, i went on a school trip, it is the challenger learning center, that is about all i know

when the ambient conditions are optimal, you would be able to get a 737-600 out of Meigs.Heck you'd almost take the 737-700 outta there aswell, but it would be a very close call!  ;D

With high flaps and little load and fuel I could see it happen
