flying in

[clumpinglitter]

Thanks for the ride offers, but I doubt if you guys will want to pick us up -- we're thinking of arriving at some godawful early hour on Saturday. I'm not sure exactly when, but the tower had suggested 4-5am would be best, if I recall correctly.

If you gotta go through all that hassle I would just got to PWK during the day and one of us will get you to the hotel. Anything after 11pm and Midway is dead except for freight and we don't fly on the weekends.

Are you guys saying MDW is too busy to get into during the day?

You can go into MDW during the day. You need to be on the ball, but it is certainly doable.

So far the larger ones haven't worked into my schedule/life. I've done a number of smaller meet & greets along the way, and look forward to many more. There are a ton of people on this site that I'd like to meet.

As far as NJC-Chicago, I had been planning on doing an MS150 bike ride that weekend which originally prevented me from going, but have since had to drop that as well. We've got our house for sale and are having an open house (realtor style) that weekend, and having another open house (party style) for my stepson's graduation the following weekend. Not a good time to duck out of town I'm afraid.

Anybody have some extra time in GRR is free to give me a shout. If I'm not on a trip I'm always up for a get together.

Well, that's what the tower controllers said a few months ago. If it's possible to get in at a normal hour, I would prefer that. We'll probably give them a call again for an updated suggested time. We have to arrive pretty early anyway, because isn't there an event at like 8am Saturday? It will all work out. Can't wait!

I've heard if it's VFR they can get you in much easier, no matter the time of day. I think the problem with IFR is the separation and all that jazz....

I'll be coming out with Ian, hoping to get into Chicago around noon. Sounds like MDW is the place to go, thanks for the offers on rides guys!
