Nasty WX in the midwest

Just talking to a buddy of mine waiting to depart out of ORD and it sounds like it is a mess there.

For grins, check out SKW5886 on flightaware. It's a Madison-O'Hare flight and he is weaving something fierce there at 9000 trying to get to ORD.

Pretty funny, looks like he is turning around and going home.

Looks like he changed his mind again.......

 

[wmuflyguy]

He is still trying.

Looks like MKE is going to have to do.

We were in the same boat, TMB to DPA...then DPA to CMI. We couldn't get out of DPA since outbounds were shutdown...so we filed for 8000 and were able to get out. Slightly rough ride, by AIM definition mostly light turbulence with the occasional moderate jolt.

you can't win them all

MSN to MKE in 1.0 in a CRJ....they didn't make much money on that flight. esp. since they still have to get their passengers to ORD or their other destinations.

Boy, just look at some of those flight tracks out there. I think I'll crack open a few cold ones in honor of those poor souls out there tonight.

Below is a screen shot from FlightAware from around the TUL area. Lots of jets sneaking through the hole in the line of thunderstorms.
