The Windy City

I flew the transit down from Chicago to Indianapolis this week. On my way down I had the opportunity to fly past downtown for a few pictures. You can really take in all the sights flying down along the coast of Lake Michigan. The highlights include the building formally known as the Sears Tower, Soldier Field which is home of the Bears and the site which use to be Meigs Field Airport. I had the opportunity to fly into there for a memorable day in downtown Chicago back when I was still in college. Within the following year, the mayor of Chicago took advantage of post 9/11 fears and sent in trucks overnight to begin tearing up the runways at the airport. It was a landmark that held a special place in the heart of any pilot who had the opportunity to fly into there. It is now just a park.

Breweries, Bicycles and Baseball Stadiums

Well after catching up with Snoopy 2 in the Quad Cities we made our way to Milwaukee, WI to do a few flyovers and some other engagements this past week. Included in the highlights are the downtown skyline, Miller Park baseball stadium, the Nascar track and the Miller Brewery. Also included in the pictures are some of the bicycle race I flew over today and the Boerner Botanical Gardens.
