WATER CANNON SALUTE for FIRST EMIRATES flight to Chicago O'Hare! [08.04.2014] 

Way, way, way, WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY overdue, but they're finally here!

Thank you! They got started a bit late with the water cannons, but it was a great show!

Thank you! Yep, we're now their 9th U.S. destination. And we're long, LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue for this airline. We've had EK cargo service for a while now, but this was a must!

Thank you! It really is great to finally have them in town!

Adiraj Chauhan impossible this was uploaded two years ago you weren't on this flight

It arrives in the afternoon between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM if you want to catch it in action.

***** It's scheduled for a 3:25 PM arrival and it's so far come in before 3:00 PM both days. They invested so much money in Chicago, they get pro ority landing, they STAY at T5 and don't go to the remote hardstand during their long ground time, as opposed to other int'l airlines due to the lack of gates at T5 for all the int'l carriers.

@@ChicagoAirportSpotter almost 7 years later, that doesnt seem to be the case anymore. they appear to go to the hardstands atleast sometimes

Thank you! Yes, the water cannon salutes are always fun and awesome to watch!

It's going to happen. I attended an Emirates party at T5 after capturing this video and overheard some stuff. A380 service to ORD is imminent

Haha, thanks! It finally came g o Chicago! We've been having cargo service for years, but EK passenger service had been missing for a while.

LOL! The "FIFA" on the right side has already been stripped off.

Thanks, Edgar!
