Chicago pilots?

I've been surprised to have a few people from Wisconsin track me down via BCP. And very pleasantly surprised to have Sophis walk up to me on a ramp in rural Wisconsin after having landed because he heard my "orange and tan Maule" in the area. See, position calls aren't useful for just safety. :D

So, are there any BCPers in the greater Chicago area? I'm in town for a bit if anyone wants to get together.

Here is a shot from my flight today. This is about 40 miles north of the IL/WI border. It's been cold here...

I was trying to quote Bigrenna and say high praise indeed.

Re: Chicago pilots?

You reminded me of how nice it is to have a "Full Size" panel in a side by side aircraft! My tandem aircraft is a struggle to get, even a, basic VFR panel onboard, with the limited forward space available.
