I'm always astounded at how much atc info you can absorb. A very enjoyable flight to ride along. Thanks for taking me along.

@alw9329 Год назад

One of my most memorable skydives was a demonstration jump, landing next to MDW. I exited a C182 and opened at 4000' agl. Looking down, I noticed around 6 SW Airlines 737's holding short of runway 31C. Knowing they where waiting for me, I took my time landing. Welcome to Chicago Steveo!

3:35 Grissom was actually called Bunker Hill Naval Station before it became Grissom Air Force Base in 1968. It was named after astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom, an Indiana native, who perished during a fire in the Apollo capsule at Cape Kennedy, FL, in 1967. It is now called Grissom Air Force Reserve Base, which hosts the 434th Air Refueling Wing, and it continues its mission of air refueling operations. It is home to the largest KC-135R Stratotanker wing in the Air Force Reserve Command. My dad finished out the last few years of his 20 year career as a crew chief mechanic for the Air Force at this base.

That was my first rotation in 1986

@gregory46236 Год назад

That's awesome. I love their outdoor museum of jets. Been there many times

@Iclo420 Год назад

This area was the default starting point of so many old versions of Flight simulator with the former Meigs field. Spent so much virtual time here

@NicoleDaKiwi Год назад

OMG. The old Meigs field in FS!! So many great hours!!

@bacca71 Год назад

Meigs in FS was one fun airport! RIP.

@analogman9697 Год назад

The thousands I "killed" trying do pretty much the same landing Steve just made...

@jimmy8x541 Год назад

as part of Microsoft Flight Sim's 40th anniversary last year, they put Meigs Field back into the new game, even though it's gone in real life :)

@w9gb Год назад

When you fly into Midway, ask for a Navy/Marine pilot with Carrier experience!

@BruceBoschek Год назад

Total area of Chicago is 234.5 sq miles! Nostalgia for me. I flew out of Midway when I left the States for Europe in 1965. Thanks for the really exciting and impressive video.

@joebudde3302 Год назад

Thanks Steve, you gave an excellent narration of the approach and challenges you prepared yourself for in advance.

@petersnelling9047 Год назад

I flew my Piper Archer into Midway in 2016 I was solo IFR , originating in West Chester PA. The Terminal area controllers could not be nicer or more helpful. I was attending a week long seminar at Chicago Booth . I made the return trip solo IFR talking to the spirit of my father frequently along the way home .

@Adam_Gray Год назад

Great snowbird approach into Midway with the epic, cool, crisp view of downtown Chicago! ✈💙

@wallstquant Год назад

Check out GYY sometime. They’ll pull a black car plane-side for your client and you’ll be downtown super fast with the tollway. Also the cheapest C.A.A. fuel and reasonable ramp fees. If only they would rename the airport Chicago Executive South Airport.

@ldoyle3rd Год назад

Grew up not too far from Midway, as good Catholic boys my brother and I would ditch church on Sundays and grab some White Castles and hang out watching planes in a lot they used to have on the SE corner of the airport. Got to land there once when I was working on my private with my instructor in a 172, that was pretty cool!

@stevelawson7635 Год назад

Thanks for including Northwest Indiana in a video! it not only "looks cold", it IS cold!

@danielryan8089 Год назад

fun fact. That final follows archer avenue all the way in and goes right above my old apartment. I used to really enjoy roof sitting during the summer and watch that big bank you did and watch all the birds fly right over head. Really awesome to see that perspective from the air. Makes me miss home even more. Thanks for sharing!

@RetrocarStyle Год назад

I really wish Meigs Field had never closed. That was such a nice airport. Also yes that approach was very bumpy and windy!

@lonestarhog7407 Год назад

1952 we visited Chicago to see my uncle off to the Korean Conflict. I still have a very vivid picture in my mind of the beautiful TWA Connie. At 5-years old and everything being so different - walked to the plane - that Connie appeared to be only a couple hundred feet from me. Gawd! What a beautiful aircraft that was.

@TOWNCARBUBBA87 Год назад

Good job steveo. thanks for taking us along brother 👍

@bobmarino350 Год назад

Great video until you said signature. What’s wrong with Atlantic? Sorry but I’ve got 29 years with that company. Oh I know you always put out great videos. Appreciate it.

@someoddemailaddress Год назад

Thanks for posting this video! My grandpa flew DC-3s for Sears out of Midway. He was the Chief Mechanic and one of the pilots. I enjoyed seeing what a landing looks like going into Midway.

@SkyKing58318 Год назад

My Dad used to work for Montgomery Wards, and took the corporate aircraft all the time. He wanted to fly fighters but his eyesight wasn't at minimums and that meant no WWII ace in the family (yeah, right...). So in corporate life, he befriended the pilots. Wards owned two planes - a Grumman Turbo Prop and one of the first jets (GII, I think, at the time). His pilot buddy said of the Turbo Prop that it climbed and handled like a fighter. They were based out of KORD (O' Hare - Butch's field), at Butler Aviation. I used to take him there all the time when he was traveling. Memories...

@stephensinclair276 Год назад

Welcome to Chicago! those are common approaches (over the lake) for both MDW/ORD. Nice to see it from the front row!

@milan1969 Год назад

Bunker Hill Indiana is where Grissom Air Reserve Base is located.

@Parr4theCourse Год назад

We just recently flew over Grissom in our Boston or Bust series, great/friendly controller there too!!!

@alaingrenier9128 Год назад

Stevo , captain mindy is flying jets now with citation max , you should Step up your game 😂

@finnm.4518 Год назад

The TBM is a very beautiful Plane. Greets from Germany 🙋‍♂️👌✌️

@TheFamilyman7 Год назад

That Signature ramp is tight. They've handled Air Force 2 (757) when VPOTUS has chosen to use MDW but I believe they close 4L/22R for prkg. Nicely done dealing w/that gusty wind.

@selimeylul8292 Год назад

That taxi-in was sick. Super cool to see you navigate through those larger jets. Great video and I enjoyed it very much.

@smitty9733 Год назад

Crack ground crew -- I am sure the cookies are all gone.

@allanthompson9633 Год назад

Beautiful snowy landscape ! What a difficult approach with this wind ! Thank you Sir ! ( like every time , the same great piece of pleasure)

@silasmarner7586 Год назад

Nice flight, and you are calm, smooth, confident and competent with your piloting from stem to stern. Thanks Steve-O!

@jimmy8x541 Год назад

the industrial area around 12:00 is Gary, Indiana. decades ago it was one of the most important cities in the country and produced a huge amount of steel and other materials.

@stereoroid Год назад

Also known as the home of the Jackson Five, Michael and his brothers.

@LEVELGAZANOW Год назад

Today, it’s a crap hole

@dogatonic Год назад

I'm inclined to disagree. Gary, IN would be on his left side. Steveo says, "Look off the right, massive complex of industrial area." He's looking at Burns Harbor, IN.

@jhaedtler Год назад

The airport fees are so high in Chicago most Private planes use Gary Indiana. Not far from Chicago down town.

@ekimnavillus4452 Год назад

Too bad meigs field isnt around anymore. Best airport ever!

@rossilake3430 Год назад

Redbud Track and Trail is a fun track to race and open ride. Living only an hour away from the track, I attended both Mxon’s and many Nationals.

@Cosmok93 Год назад

I’m actually from Logansport, IN, Steveo! You were flying over Grissom Air Force Base… so cool to hear you call that out! Keep up the great videos.

@tomleonard6177 Год назад

You should check out Grissom. There's an AFB there with an aviation museum. So cool you mentioned Red Bud...used to go there as a kid as my neighbor used to ride.

@ALLforROME Год назад

you should rename this video LANDING IN THE CHICAGO HOOD

@35057 Год назад

Last few times I’ve flown commercial (pax, I’m no pilot, just enthusiast) into Chicago O’Hare it’s been quite aggressive on the decent when they pickup the RNAV. Holy crap lol. His explains it. It’s been busy as I follow the flight radar while flying.

@CarlDavidBirman Год назад

This is totally enjoyable. Really love the commentary about the temps outside as the plane is gradually descending, etc. etc. The background chatter with flight control is totally fascinating.

@7ACtailwheelav8tor Год назад

This one was extra cool for me! My airport (IN33) is just a few miles north of Grissom (KGUS). Pretty nice hearing some familiar names...🙂

@Haywain Год назад

Fantastic footage Steveo, loved the "best forward speed" moment. Reminded me of speaking to a pilot years ago about their approach to Heathrow in a Piper Seneca (she was pilot of Capital Radios Flying Eye). In her words "approach at full speed, aim for the halfway point, and at the last minute drop all the dangly stuff to slow down"!

@andrewd4890 Год назад

I transited through MDW in 2005 en route from ABQ to Laguardia NY, spent about 4 hours in the airport. Took some nice pics of the airport after taking off, snow everywhere. Thanks for the trip, very nice.

@a914freak Год назад

My wife is from Miller Indiana (South Shore) That industrial area you were flying over was the Gary Steel Mill, although still operational they don't produce anything close to what they did during the war.

@jeffsmith1705 Год назад

I believe the city you flew over at 3:49 is my home town of Logansport, IN (KGGP). We have two rivers - the Wabash flows through east to west and the Eel river joins the Wabash from the northeast right in our town. You mentioned "Grissom"; that is a nearby Air Force Reserve base which has a radar approach control facility. Grissom handles lower altitude civilian traffic - I believe 10K and below.

@michaelreiss9205 Год назад

I had some cousins that lived in Logansport many years ago. They ran a hardware store if I remember correctly. Last name was Bergin.

@BeechSportBill Год назад

.. So short for ‘37s. Very hot brakes…

@RyanKingArt 11 месяцев назад

Awesome landing!

@TheFlyingStampede Год назад

We used to do touch and go's at MDW when I was doing my private training. It's surprisingly not as busy as you would think.

@bobmarino350 Год назад

At least they chock the mains in that wind.

@charlesfisher6620 Год назад

That big rail yard is where I work Stevo. That's the BNSF Corwith Yard, and it's always great watching planes flying over us, going into Midway. I've only landed a plane at Midway one time, during flight school. My instructor wanted me to fly into a Class Charlie, so we did Midway.

@markstanley9581 Год назад

Great video. I use to fly around VPZ in a cherokee warrior. Too old and to many health issues along with the cost for fun. Thanks for sharing your videos.

@larrygraff6472 Год назад

Your a great IFR pilot! I learn a lot from your flights.

@chrisdaniel1339 Год назад

I am from the Northeast and I enjoy seeing the snow-covered landscape from the air. Great flying as usual Steveo

@Watchdoc65 Год назад

I sure hope there are more pilots out there as good as you are! Take care out there!

@monsenrm Год назад

I used to rent out of Midway before 911. Afterwards they moved the FBO off the airport, they tossed you the keys, drive back to the airport, park and go through security. Then a guy in a golf cart takes you to the plane. Very inconvenient. Anyway I was more nervous taxing as it is a mouse maze of taxiways. Kinda neat to do an approach and waving at passengers in a DC9 on a parallel runway. They always passed me for some reason.

@doughboi007 Год назад

this was one of my favs to watch!

@jameskim62 Год назад

SteveO, you ever think about flying BJC 747-900 for a REAL REAL GOOD PERSON/COMPANY Traveling all over the world ?????????

@rickbaker4571 Год назад

Midway... what a dump! Thanks for bringing us along Steveo!!

@BasenjiAdventures Год назад

Why do they say best forward speed? Is it possible to come in in reverse 😂

@gapster46 Год назад

You are correct. Mayor Daily screwed up Meigs Field. Looking at Google, Midway is small compared to Ohare. I never had the opportunity to land at a Class B airport, but always enjoyed landing at Class C airports. Light jacket when you know you are landing at an airport with snow? We all make poor decisions once in a while. 😊

@Pa27pilot Год назад

Welcome to Chicago Steveo. I got my PPL out of Midway and I fly in and out of there often. My office is 5 minutes away. Your videos helped me a lot. I try to emulate your professionalism. Thank you.

@lhallal1234 Год назад

Hey Steve, what do they charge planes like yours to land? Thanks, Louis

@frederickclause2694 Год назад

You should go to Alaska in the winter and go for a ride in a DHC2 Beaver std. to find out what it's like to be cold in an airplane. Your TBM wouldn't seem so cold after that. 😁

@bryant07681 Год назад

Northwest Indiana (Gary) is very industrial. Steel Mills were very popular back in the day.

@christophermusso Год назад

Really? Three chances (FISKK, FISSK & FSSKK) and NONE of them are at Fisk, Wisconsin?!?!?! 🤔

@neilmurgatroyd3197 Год назад

Interesting. You didn't miss a beat with the late shift from 22L to 22R. No thought of putting the new approach in the GPS? I was surprised they asked you about parking on the approach, that's a high workload part of the flight, wouldn't earlier or later (on the ground) have been better for you? Or is it a function of Chicago being geared to bigger commercial traffic?

@rightathomeinspectionsands5808 Год назад

Soldiers Stadium.. Oh Steve, Steve, Steve. We will get you right soon enough. Hahaha. Next time come into KLOT and I'll buy ya lunch at Stagecoach in Lockport. Look it up.

@GrayPlayer Год назад

Meigs, cut my "teeth" there. Remember Air Transport Pilot? Boston - O'Hare with instrument from western Pa., ILS landing! Sight of the runway seemed to take forever!!!

@DaveScottADV Год назад

My first flight ever was in a C172 flying out of Midway with the Civil Air Patrol. 2002ish.

@richburyla919 Год назад

Envious Stevo. I grew up at mdw in the 60s. Used to hang out at the g&a hangers where u turned off 22r. Get in 727s, etc at terminal. Nat.guard choppers ,south end. Best friend went on to be Capt for AA. Finally went for my ppl in 2019. Had to bale before solo in 2020. Too old now. Love your vids. 😎

@edrosiak Год назад

I enjoyed watching your video. I’m originally from MKE but moved to CA years ago… brought back some memories… 😎

@PiperPilot1976 Год назад

Steve-O!! another great flight!! Any chance you could show a quick video of setting up the VNAV profile? I've recently had the 530 WAAS installed in my plane as well, just trying to get more familiar with it.

@bradgibson4459 Год назад

Had a Daughter that lived in Chicago for Way too much time. Glad to be out of that town. Made that trip every 3 weeks, NEVER made it out of there on time, flying Southwest. Great place to visit but NOT to live. If you are planning on going there for Northwestern, I would look at a Alternative option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do go there for fun, be sure to see the field museum, Navy Pier, Architecture tour and Get some Garrett popcorn or some pizza!!

@rimmon24 Год назад

ty, idk this popped up in my feed, maybe bc i love WW2 airshows....but i lived in the chicago suburbs for 11 years...great to see the view again...

@Bigolg1975 Год назад

That massive complex is US Steel - Gary Works, Gary Indiana.

@SandDuneProperties Год назад

I took 2 Navy students in a 206 Bell Jet Ranger from Pensacola up to Midway and landed directly into our parking spot at Millionaire (FBO at the time). L O N G flight, but it was awesome!

@martinneumann9345 Год назад

Flew out of MDW many times a year in the 60s 70s. My dad and brother had a Cessna 337 and 182s at different times hangered at the old AA hanger on 55th St.. Until I left Chicago 13 years ago, SWA had me as a frequent flyer. and Midway Airlines before that.

@rikspector Год назад

Stevio, I wouldn't have been in ANY hurry to get out of the plane, That martial didn't seem anxious to get out thee , either:) Cheers, Rik

@DJCENTIF1 Год назад

One of the most entertaining and interesting videos I have watched. The terminology blows my mind. Thank you for the video.

@philipwethington7965 Год назад

It has been a long time since I have flown with snow on the ground, and it was like this day when we went, our runway was cover with snow, and our heater wasn't putting out a lot heat, I didn't care how cold it was I got to go flying that day. I am glad I watch this one. It always fun to fly anytime. I always watch your videos.

@deandrehenderson7560 Год назад

I am confused you said landing on 22L but you called ground and the markers on the runway said 22R. Explain pls

@DeonMitton Год назад

Nice flight Steveo ! Hope that jacket was warm enough?

@docdurdin Год назад

Florida boy says, they don't call it the Windy City for nothing. Been through there many times, couldn't pay me to live there. I'll fly back to Tampa with you.

@Hinch55 Год назад

Steveo! Redbud MX shoutout! Digital high-five! Huge SX/MX fan.

@rael5469 Год назад

Steveo looked a little hesitant to get out of the plane there in Chicago. Chicagoans can sound a little gruff......but they aren't. They're just regular folks just like anywhere. (South sider here.)

@demiansims728 Год назад

As flight sim pilot, out of all the approaches I can choose from, it's always MDW, LGA or St. Barts LOL

@joycekanadet481 Год назад

That's was pretty cool! I don't blame ya! I would rather bein Miami 🌴 myself 😂

@TsterMr63 Год назад

My home airport-welcome to Chicago! Always an adventure getting the airliners to stop on the short runways. Thanks for reminding us about the criminal ruination of Meigs Field by that thug Richie Daley.

I flight sim into MDW from STL I enjoy that one! ATR 72-600

@robertwioch3691 Год назад

Hello I love watching you fly. I teach people to fly Rc-Airplace and Helicopters' it is fly and I love to see them happy. I do fly real-planes and Helicopters. not all the time. but I do have fun. But I love you to fly. I was born and rises in chicago Ill, have fun ok, I got the new flight sim on my computer too so I can keep flying and learn. it is nice to fly. and fun. PLs be safe. I gave you a thumbs up.

@shaveradam Год назад

The “industrial area” was likely Gary Indiana. Steel mills. Should smell that driving though 🫢

@cloudstreets1396 Год назад

You can do RNP approaches in the TBM? I did this exact approach just yesterday in an Airbus.

@tomboard1 Год назад

This must have been right over Christmas. It's was bitterly cold but January and February were pretty darn warm.

@crousetrodomis Год назад

You started your video just off of Muncie Indiana, my home town. Grissom is for Gus Grissom and its an Reserve base for KC135's.

@brucewalker1908 Год назад

Sorry Steve not Grissom Indiana. It’s Grissom Air Force Base. Grissom is in Peru Indiana. The base was closed years ago and the Air National Guard used it now along with civilian aircraft

@iggy8702 Год назад

Nice. I am watching this from my home office which is almost five miles off your right wing at touchdown on 22R. I know it is almost five miles because I need to request clearance to fly my drone from my backyard. I sat in the Signature lobby a few months ago waiting for my nephew who flies a charter Gulfstream. That was a beautiful view of downtown.

@AnthonyRBlacker Год назад

It's a real shame what 'they' let happen to Chicago. I had family in the Navy, stationed out there when I was a kid and it was really a beautiful place to be.. Yeah there was crime it was the 80s, but it was NOTHING like what has happened as of late there under the choice of leaders by the folks of that city. What a shame. Oh well, maybe one day it'll get cleaned up there. edit: Funny, at the end there it looked like the marshal wanted you to move forward some more, he saw you hit parking brakes and just tossed his hands up.. haha oh well! What a great flight coming in to that beautiful city, I really am surprised how little chatter there was on the radio. Thanks Steve!!

@peterjones4621 Год назад

Thank you, that was fun. I was hoping you would show what the plane looks like from the outside, well maybe next time. Peace.

@rael5469 Год назад

Steve says it was -36 C at altitude. Interesting. Question, what would be the temperature in F if it was -40 C ?

@DarrelBartell Год назад

really enjoyed this video, I used to fly a Bonanza into Meig field, alway makes me sad to think Daly took it away, it was a super convenient little corporate airport

@gottadomor7438 Год назад

Old man Daley'd never've closed Meigs - part of the town's moxey & character. His son tho ... his actions speak for themselves. RIP Meigs Field.

@stevieg314 Год назад

17:00 "There's Soldier's Stadium.." Um, no. It's called "Soldier Field" but, you are a pilot so you get a pass :) cool video.

@Rahhhhhnman Год назад

You seemed quite chuffed with your left side wheelie on landing with that wind direction, could you explain this a bit, I'm really curious. Also seems your landing marshal got overruled right at the end there, not happy by the look.

@RidgeDogRoxx Год назад

Like all general aviation pilots - still pissed at Daley for carving up Meigs in the middle of the night. I'm still pissed as well, although the music venue there is pretty cool. Welcome to my city, Steveo.
