Any update on the travel ?

[Repulsif]

Anyone know when the fly will move from Buffalo to Chicago ?

It seems today would be a bad idea, lot of wind ?, and tomorrow to late (or still bad conditions ?)

The Bears will help fans try to stay warm by offering hot chocolate and coffee throughout the stadium and via in-seat vendors. In addition, there will be warming stations

Bet there were a lot of tight sphincters during that landing with the snow and wind. Lading in high winds is not fun. Seems like every flight into Vegas is like that with the wind shear coming over the mountains.

Almost 2 hour flight, likely took more time due to wind

It’s no fun, but I’d rather be in a big plane like they are (a 767) for something like that. Every time I have to land at ROC in something like that it’s in a damn CRJ bouncing all over the place.

Last time I went to Vegas, the landing was horrendous. The wind was throwing us around and my gf was squeezing her Rosary beads. The plane touched down, then bounced back up moving sideways, before landing safely. Some of these pilots are amazing. I def had to change my boxers as soon as I got to the hotel.

I was sitting here waiting for word of safe landing like one of my kids was on the plane

[RyanC883]

that odd, the plane is slated to go fromJFK to Buffalo as its next future flight, but there is no Chicago to JFK.  Like it just morphs there.

Was anyone at the airport to cheer them upon arrival?

They landed at ORD. NOW, Midway is brutal. A 1 square mile landing area in the middle of a city.

Piece of cake.

 

Now this is tough:

Dark night on Nimitz

 

Carrier shows up at about the 1:30 mark, but that is the light on the island. The landing area, to the lower left of of the island light, doesn't show up until the 2:50 mark, seconds befoe toufhdown

And taxiing after the landing is interesting also.

This will not be a fun drive to Chicago...

A few years ago I spent a weekend on the Nimitz where aviators from NAS Lemoore flew to North Island then out the boat about 100 miles off the west coast to do their carrier landing recerts for day and night.  It was wild watching this at night.
