I flew my Aircoupe into Ord.

Not that ORD, but Ord Nebraska (KODX). I was trying to get into KFSD (Sioux Falls) and had already had to divert from a planned stop in Kearney NE when the weather became too bad to continue without trying to scud run for over 150 miles. It was a nice airport with spots for three transient planes an an interesting history for its name. Fortunately the Airport Motel was just across the street and a generous local loaned me a farm truck to drive into town for dinner.

Nebraska has an amazing number of GA airports. And they are remarkably friendly. Glad you had a good experience.

Why?

My father owned half a share in an Ercoupe in the 1950's. It was based out of Orchard Field, which we all now call O'Hare International Airport.

Pic with the Rockies in the background really does it for me.
