Just spent a couple of weeks in and around Chicago. I learnt to fly here 20 odd years ago, so I took the opportunity to get back in the seat. Here's a few pics flying around the city. In parts You have to stay about 1100-1200' agl to be below O'Hare airspace. That puts you lower than some if the buildings. Just fab!
