Hope you all enjoy! It was nice to see some diversity for once, used to seeing tons of Delta all the time!

Some great catches, United Retro and Continental (Very jealous) ... Nice work !

Damn! Now that's some haul!

Yup, I'm jealous

That's raking them in! Great report!

Thanks guys!! Yea I got really lucky both retros were at ORD on Friday, and I was also lucky that the winds were out of the west. That makes spotting there a lot easier!

Superb Collection...Fantastic set of pics...I liked the UA 787 and QR 7W side on shots..

Thanks man!! I'm also a big fan of Qatar's livery on the 77W!

awesome variety!! I love the retros!! I still need them both!! lol And the 787 shots are epic!!

Thanks Sergio!! yes the retros were just an added bonus to the already healthy variety at O'Hare. Definitely the best airport I've ever spotted!

Just for clarification, all these awesome shots...they were only obtained because you joined the ORD Spotter Group correct?

Thanks man!! The winds for these 2 days favored landings on 28R/27L/27R. The spot for 28R, the USG lot, is public so you can be there without being a member. For 22L departures, that lot is private, so for that I had to have my vest on. When I'm down there, I just wear the vest and ID all of the time anyway just to avoid any potential issues.

Awesome Shots! Like the 777s and Retro Jets

Thanks man!!

I didn't know NYCA allowed posting p0rn... aviation p0rn that is ;)

Great collection, I hope the Spotter group at ORD is going strong.

The group is bigger and better than ever! Although I must say spotting this airport will only be more difficult after the expansion project is completed

Great set of images! Nice quality

Great set, loved looking through all of your shots! Call me crazy, but I'm a sucker for those CR7's in the battleship livery...

Thanks guys!! Yes I am happy there are a few of those Mesa CRJ7s left, wont be too much longer though :(

Good morning, on the 12th of September, the flight with the B777 QTR991 DOH-ORD with my friend the captain Carlos Silva, portuguese born in Mozambique. Is it the 1st flight to Chicago this new route of Qatar Airways. Arrival at ORD at 1930 utc (1330 local time)
Is it possible some spotter can shoot the approach and landing in ORD for remembrance?
Thank you, greetings ...

Carlos Schmidt
