Headed south from Schaumburg back to Champaign. I was on flight following just a little southeast of DuPage getting beat to death in the thermals and the heat. He asked what my final altitude was going to be, I said "6500", and he says "cleared into the Bravo, maintain 6500". I about dropped my teeth. About 5000 we got above the inversion layer and it smoothed out & cooled down, so I really appreciated it.Where were you headed?
... And of all the times I've flown VFR around Chicago (and my airport is under the shelf) I've only been cleared into Bravo 2x...
Wouldn’t that have ignited the hydrogen?I'm thinking Florida man would've taken along a sidearm to put some ventilation holes in the balloon to effect a landing.

I told y'all it happens! Outbound only and usually in the direction of ORD departures (+/- what MDW is doing). S, SW, and NW are most common. And no, it's not because "I know a guy".Headed south from Schaumburg back to Champaign. I was on flight following just a little southeast of DuPage getting beat to death in the thermals and the heat.

It's a default setting in the iPhone Mail app, and even when I turned it off it turned back on during some update. It's both stupid and annoying.lately people have been replying to emails, but including the attachment from the original email.
What's up with that?
What twisted mind configures replies to include attachments from the original email?
When I know I'm speaking with someone prone to doing that, I usually add something unpalatable. For example:don't you just love when you ask an either/or question and the person answers "yes" (and you know that they don't understand what a logical OR is - nevermind XOR)
PORTC ^= 1 << PORTC2;don't you just love when you ask an either/or question and the person answers "yes" (and you know that they don't understand what a logical OR is - nevermind XOR)
I’m not opposed to a T&G there. I have 1 landing there to a full stop and the hardest part was the taxi clearance - so that might play a factor.Yesterday while flying back from Michigan on flight following I heard a guy requesting/getting approval for doing touch-n-goes at Midway and then flying the lakeshore route.
This is officially the first time I've ever heard someone doing TnGs at MDW in the evening while Southwest's 737s are landing around them... That has to be an anomaly.
Would any midwest pilots here consider doing this at Midway? Seems to me like one of the worst airports for that.
Must've been short lived. There was a thread this morning with a lot of outlandish claims about getting into aviation through rubbing shoulders (and apparently other parts) with Hollywood celebs. It was pretty comical.huh?
I was looking for that one too.Did the guy claiming to bang Halle berry get booted already? I was looking forward to seeing where that one went.
Glad to have missed it ...

In real life or...what, you haven’t banged Halle Berry??
I gave Marie Osmond the shock of her life once, we still talk about it.I ran into Mary J Blige in Calabasas once… she seemed nice.
Been thinking about Jeppesen plates lately [because I'm a normal well adjusted person]. Anyone casually use it?

Hmmm. A twin and two tail draggers?I flew three different airplanes over the weekend. Or, from a maintenance perspective, I flew 20 cylinders, 40 spark plugs, 3 oil filters, 10 propeller blades, and 7 pneumatic tires over the weekend.
