Landing at Chicago Midway

[TX1961]

An A380 wouldn't be able to land on that short of a runway. Not about to happen. I call it a postage stamp airport. 

[FlightSimXGamer365]

Damn why such a short runway? Wow i hate to see what would happen if an A380 landed on that.

[SWA2254]

hold the camera still

[USofMilitaryPower94]

JESUS CHRIST! were you landing in a cross wind?

[QUIKKSTAR]

I still call it the Sears Tower... fuck Willis!

[tgrim722]

I've watched planes land at KMDW on RWY 22L from the observation deck of the Willis Tower (former Sears Tower) and when they turn to final at their approach altitude we were actually above them!

[USofMilitaryPower94]

@tgrim722 I should hope so! Finalling above 1353 feet wouldn't put you on the ground soon enough!

[Chikidd75]

YEAH I LOVE MY CITY AND THE "WILLIS" TOWER IS REALLY HUGE CAN SEE IT ANYWHERE IN THE CITY EVEN IN SOME PARTS OF THE 100's

[monex5]

WOW!!! Is this Pilots view? I go to Midway to see my kid (Im a Chicago native and I've never seen planes landing from the point of view.

@BoeingAviator211 Unless they are flying VFR. Then there are no rules restricting electronic devices in the cockpit; however, i doubt this bird was on a VFR flightplan.

[Vorox144]

how the hell to ppl make 13L its so fukn short do they use auto brakes on max or what

[gfr1978]

Was the pilot masturbating?

[leyonski]

omg, im getting airsick for the first two minutes of this video.

[MrFukinfantastic]

2:25 when I hear a sound like that on a plane I tend to shit my pants!

[AARedSox327]

That approach literally goes right over my house. i can see the planes make a right hand turn at about 3,500 feet but sometimes, if the weather is good, they fly nice and low over my house

[stevekach]

its almost like landing on an aircraft carrier

[UnshavenStatue]

@stevekach Except without the ricking and rolling of a ship.

[beerrd]

Man the Sears Tower is massive, as high as the plane is miles out on its approach! That is one tall building alright!

[futerflash2]

Yeahhh i went to Norway last summer and in the way to land in O'hare i saw sears tower i was like woohha its so tall lol

[foreveygames]

[MrFukinfantastic]

[Mexicanboy387]

[PlaneSpotterGroup101]
