The destination for the SimPilot Forum's twentyfirst Flight Rally is Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois USA!
The area that would be Chicago O'Hare International Airport was little more
than farms and a couple of country clubs, and in 1940 began operations as
Orchard Field Airport.
In 1949 the Chicago City Council renamed Orchard Field Airport to Chicago O'Hare International Airport to honor naval pilot Lt. Cmdr. Edward "Butch" O'Hare, a Congressional Medal of Honor receipient from Chicago who died in combat during World War II. A reminder of the original airport name still remains in the ORD abbreviation used on all airline baggage tags.
Today, Chicago O'Hare International Airport provides direct service to more than 60 international destinations, with hourly nonstop service to New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Washington DC, Detroit, Atlanta, and Minneapolis. In 2002 the airport was recognized as the world's busiest airport, serving over 66 million passengers, with more than 922,000 takeoffs and landings, and over 190,000 passengers per day.
There is scenery for this airport in almost every known flight simulator program ranging from Microsoft's "Flight Simulator" 1.0 to 2003, subLogic's "Flight" and "Flight Light", subLogic's "Airline Transport Pilot", Lago's "Airline Simulator" Nomissoft's "Airline Simulator 2", and even an obscure little-known simulator by subLogic called "UFO". The scenery is also included in subLogic's "USA East" and "Scenery Disk 9" scenery packs.
Download the file KCGXKORD.GIF in Files Section 3 (Navigation) for an aeronautical chart of the area, and KORD32L.GIF in Files Section 3 (Navigation) for an instrument approach plate of ILS Runway 32L. Current aviation weather for the airport can be found at NOAA's Web Site on the Internet.
