    Mike is the essence of Bob Ross if Bob Ross flew jets instead of painted happy little trees. So soothing. Outstanding. :)

    Funny comment on the anti ice switches. Same things happens when one turns the seat belt sign off. That’s usually when the turbulence starts!

    So enjoy your videos, Jim. In fact, during the past several months of persevering through the pandemic, I have dug into the videos you've produced in the past. (He has a ton of them in his UA-cam library folks!) Keep the blue side up and the brown side down, Jim!

    @captmoonbeam I especially appreciate this video being a native Chicagoan. I haven't been back there for years but I used to go in and out of there flying for a virtual airline. It's an exciting little airport! I remember a video from 15 years ago or so of a crew in a 737 performing the App 31C Circle 22L Lndg. You could hear the tension in the pilots voice as he said, "Boy that's a short rwy!" No sweat though. They made the last turn off................Keep up the good work!

    straightforward routing to MDW, but all those details! And the monotonic rapid fire speech of the controller! nice landing, btw. 43 kts on the nose. Wow!

    I can see my building at the 8:46 mark. Pretty cool. I used to sometimes fly the approach for Midway if they weren’t too busy when I was working on my ppl. That was back when ATA was still flying 757s there.

  • @dennismiller7605
    @dennismiller7605 3 роки тому

    Loved the video. In the late 1970's I was flying out of Schaumburg in my Comanche. Working on my instrument rating and we used to shoot ILS approaches into Midway a lot on Sunday AM. I seriously doubt I could do that today.
    Got my ticket, flew 12 hours more and sold the plane. I realized I did not have the time or money to stay safe. I'll leave it to the experts like you guys.
    Today, I'm soon to be 81, right now I'm cancer free, and loving the videos.
    Best regards,
    Dennis Miller
