@Blank Gaming that’s because the cabin is really loud, so the mics only pic up sound that’s really close, otherwise the entire radio frequency wouldn’t be clear at all, just a bunch of engine sounds
Mostly old radios. I had my primary go out and my secondary was an old collins comm that sounded worse than what you'd hear in an xbox 360 cod lobby. i couldn't even understand what I was saying half the time

Used to live down the street from this airport. Brother went to school there. Seeing the weather, reminds me why I’m glad I moved to the desert. Glad to see your channel grow so much since I started watching in 2016.
You should do more of these, that way when you drop a video we'll never be quite sure if you are watching a hot air balloon do Mach 3 in a flight sim or IRL.
Airforceproud! If you're in the Chicago land area and will be doing any in-person meets or events, please let us know! I'd love to meet someone I've been watching for almost 5 years! Amazing views.
The 172RGs or retractable gear were very unpopular because you gain a couple extra knots of speed for increased complexity, initial cost, and annual inspection costs.
I HIGHLY reccomend AFP come by Chicago in August so he can catch the annual Chicago Air & Water show. Trust me. You WON'T want to miss it!! And best of all, ITS FREE!!!
I used to fly out of midway and do touch and gos over at Lewis University all the time. Fun stuff. Would also go fly over my college and the white sox stadium haha
Just flew into MDW this last Friday! Unfortunately sometime that morning I got covid, travelled and it barely made a problem. Finally got tested today and I popped positive. Flights to and from MCO from MDW were amazing tho :)

Here’s a recipe for chili that I think is a great cheap & easy recipe: (1) pound (0.4-ish) kg of ground beef (2) cans kidney beans (1) can black beans (1) can diced tomatoes (2) packets seasoning Cook the ground beef with the seasoning. Add beans and potatoes. Add water to preference. Simmer until desired heat and softness is reached. Serve and enjoy.
How is it I've been watching your videos for this long, yet only subscribe this morning, then you drop a new video after radio silence forever an hour ago? Skill, that's how. Groundpound69
This is the most realistic VATSIM video I've ever watched
@LexiFennec it’s called irl simulator 2022. Good graphics but hella expensive
Missed the inverted hot air balloon flying mach 2...

As a Chicago resident - thanks for flying our windy skies. I cant believe there was no Meigs Field mention! The starting airport for MsFS for years!
RIP Meigs Field :(
If only I were alive to see Meigs field in its glory…Nice to see a vid on Chicago though
Flew over the lake southbound coming home from Oshkosh back in '97. Have a poster size pic of Meigs, with the skyline off to our right. Classic.
The worst thing Daley II did was rip up Meigs in the night.
@@Hiei2k7 That was the "departure of the Baltimore Colts" level of heinous
The flight simulators are getting way too realistic.
You should see the price tag on them though.
These improved graphics look amazing
You can tell it's a fake because there's hardly any traffic on the Dan Ryan.
Why is it that whenever I think of a clever joke for the comments, its already the top comment? HMM?
Crazy aint it, even the radio sounds real
What I always find fascinating is that we're in 2022 but microphones still sound like we're driving around in 1943 tanks.
As a non-native english speaker, this is what makes it most difficult for me. I barely understood what they were talking.

That f-19 really blends in with other GA aircraft. 172/10 best fighter jet

These F-19s are looking more and more exciting every day. Cool to see you being able to see one in real life and show us a sneak peek. 😁
Man your flight simulator setup is getting extremely realistic. How did you get the graphics to look so good?

As someone who flies out of MDW from time to time it’s crazy to think the legend that is AirPotatoChip69 could’ve been buzzing the skies above me
That’s GroundPound69 thank you very much
A little disappointed we didn’t get an ATC call for Cessna buzzing the tower. Oh FSX Steam Edition how great you were.
MDW is my main airport despite living on the North side. I never considered AFP might live near there.
Idk why I'm expecting Hot Air balloons with FSX physics in this video 😆😆
Anyways, great video sir! It's been a while~
Going 500mph upside down 100 feet off the ground?
@@crazyfroggie6546 n then you'll see F-18s going veritcal or sideways through hangers and the ground
Always so much fun to overfly a busy commercial airport. Briefly saw the old Meigs field 😥 - forever in our hearts.
request a flyover of Meigs! there it is out the left window at 5:20
@@stevevernon1978 yeah, I don’t think there’s anything left, it’s basically a park now.
What happened to Meigs field? Is that an old sports stadium or something?

Yeah you did! Great to see some real world content again! Thanks, guys!
this isnt real world. He downloaded a mod recently, this is the realistic graphics from that mod
The smile on the face as he lands certifies the butter
My first flights were in a 172 - without all the fancy avionics (≈1974). It’s good to see them still getting some loving. 🥰
"THANK-"
'Shush, the mighty Cessna 172 needs no appreciation. The sky is my master'
been waiting for some more IRL flying content for so long. Surely a welcome surprise.
who said this was irl? this is msfs 2022

As a Chicago native for all of my life and a proud south sider, I appreciate you giving us some attention, it was truly beautiful🥲
damn using a homemade cockpit with flight sim 2020 really looks almost fully real!
You should do more of these, that way when you drop a video we'll never be quite sure if you are watching a hot air balloon do Mach 3 in a flight sim or IRL.
Love the irl flying, can't wait to see more of it
Love to see another real-world video after so long! Keep em coming sauce boss
It's been 106 weeks since the last time I flew an airplane, so thanks a lot for taking us up with you. This short vid made my day.

Flying vlog update again after 2019! my fav series.
Just flew in the weekend, feeling good up there.
looks like quite a windy day in the windy city! some good flying and quite the beautiful day!
"f-19 concept stealth fighter" love it
Cessna should make some 172s have the gear-up configuration.
Great flight my man!
Cessna already makes 172RGs.
Was it my imagination, or did that one tire have a bald spot?
Just to clarify, are we talkin' gear-up as in *retractable,* or gear-up as in, "A-a-and, he just ate$#!t and the plane is upside down."? 😆
nah man dats the f19
The 172RGs or retractable gear were very unpopular because you gain a couple extra knots of speed for increased complexity, initial cost, and annual inspection costs.
I love this video. I really miss flying in and out of Lewis when I was going to school there
Been waiting my whole life for this
YES! The return of irl flights!
Yo where was the midflight snacks??? No freaking bananas? What the hell. That was a staple in these videos
So cool! Great views of the Skyline, and i smiled at the rousing national anthem / stadium flypast moment 😀
This video was a lot of fun. Appreciate Fabian for the tour.
I got to fly the skyline a few months back for my first night cross country. It's a beautiful sight when all the lights are on.
Very enjoyable video to watch, you two make an amazing team
i flew into Lewis last week great to see you out in the Chicago area!
I HIGHLY reccomend AFP come by Chicago in August so he can catch the annual Chicago Air & Water show. Trust me. You WON'T want to miss it!! And best of all, ITS FREE!!!
1:30 "Gear Up!"
Doing this while it was snowy was a real treat.
Nice to see you flying again!
As someone an hour from Chicago, can’t imagine doing this over that hectic area haha props to you both!
Great to see the skycock in action
At 1:48 I can see my house from there. No joke all serious. I live across the street from the Romeoville airport. Probably saw this plane flying by.
Broke protocol, no call for gear up. Failed flight. XD
Great video. Crazy you went right over Midway. So cool!
Nice to see this type of content too! 🙌🏼
I used to fly out of midway and do touch and gos over at Lewis University all the time. Fun stuff. Would also go fly over my college and the white sox stadium haha
I miss these style videos!! Thanks for the upload!
I didn’t know you could flyover a big airport with a Cessna and also go above the city skyline!
These graphics are great.. just missing the balloon going mach 2
Awesome graphics! and beautiful job from the vatsim tower on this one
Hey man...thanks for sharing!
(flies over the south side of Chicago in a 172)
(is not shot)
Successful flight, gentlemen!
A real accomplishment indeed
nah man dats an f19
Holy Crap….you flew out of Lewis. My son just graduated from there and is a flight instructor too
I was like "why does this field look familiar" and realized It was Lewis.
Hell yeah
Love the rental flat spot on the mains
Man, as much as I like the sim vids, I could watch this shit all day. And it's strangely wholesome.
Hey my kid was in Chicago for a school trip. Hell yeah, good stuff
would definitely like to see more of these kinda vids as well
This was super cool to watch, wouldn’t be surprised if you guys flew right over my house! Cool to see local stuff like this
Finally real flying I love it
Been a while with the IRL vlogs, nice to see them back.
I've flown through midway from KDEN-KRSW, and it was busy with planes, empty of people, but that was 7/5/2020. Great vid, as always
