About a week when i went to chicago i flew WN. On the ramp was an unmarked 767. How could a 767 land at mdw isnt the runway way to short for those beasts. Im 100 % sure it was a 767. Any one no what it was doing at mdw?

Quoting Beech19 (Reply 4): Anyone know what is near the WN hangar at Midway?
Nothing is close by the WN hangars. It probably was 757.

Wasn't there a rumor ATA was getting a used 767? and the WN hangar was formerly ATA's correct? Could that be possible?

This one is a Pace Airlines Boeing 757-200 (reg. N757BJ). The aircraft arrived in MDW at 11:17pm last night. It took the Minnesota Timberwolves to Chicago for their game against the Chicago Bulls tonight.

Obviously FII2993 is pretty confident. No offense to anyone in here... but a 757 and 767 are very difficult to confuse. The nose, fues, over all size, and height. You gotta be blind to confuse them...
I guess MAYBE from a very long distance away but to a trained eye its still very obvious.
A 767 could have easily been there. For what? Who knows... My guess is a charter or biz-jet though. There is always a good reason.

The flight information is from Flightaware.com. I know its the Timberwolves because I the Timberwolves are travelling with Pace Airlines this year and they were in GRR for a game on Oct 18.

It does appear that FII2993 is very confident.
However, it is possible to confuse a B757 for a B767...depending on the angle and distance away from the aircraft you'd be amazed. I admit to wrongly spotting a B767 before.
25 AirportPlan: I just talked to someone who works in airport operations at MDW. A 767 WAS NOT AT MDW. Most likely you saw a 757. Just to be clear while technically a
26 Mdw22l31c: About 15+ years ago working for Midway as I remember a ATA 767 landed and took off from 22L. People on the ramp watched the 767-200 just clear 63rd an
28 OPNLguy: ATA had 767s? Back in their American Trans Air days, I know they had a single DC-10-30 (that eventually burned up at ORD), and some L-1011s, but when
30 AirportPlan: ATA never had 767s. They have L1011s which never came to MDW. The largest ATA aircraft ever at MDW were 757-300 which have since been sold.
31 UnitedTristar: Close my friend...it was a DC10-40 leased from NW -m
32 OPNLguy: Always thought it was a -30; thanks for the correction. True story: Used to have a buddy up there, and I asked him if the mechanic that had been work
34 Wjcandee: They actually also had a DC-10-10 (N183AT), the "City of Indianapolis". As noted above, 184, the flambe plane, was a -40, but whatever.[Edited 2006-1
35 ORDPIA: The neighborhood around it is called Midway, it is surrounded by: Archer Heights, Vittum Park, Garfield Ridge, Clearing, West Edison, and West Lawn
36 N1120A: United flew regular, scheduled service on 762s between BUR and ORD and the runway at BUR is only 386 feet longer than at MDW. 767s are made for short
37 Carpethead: Just to add, the 763 & Airbus A300B2/B4/-600 have used the old Hiroshima airport (HIW) before the opening of the new airport in 1994. The old airport
38 Uadc8contrail: ual did land a dc10 back in the late 80s at mdw...due to ord wx...ferried out empty...and when i say empty....the only thing left was the seats ....we
39 N1120A: Why would they have to do that? I mean, with just a ferry crew, the plane should have been plenty light to make a hop to ORD.
40 ChiGB1973: It wasn't a 767 unless there was some extreme emergency and we probably would have heard about that. The 767 is not allowed at MDW. This discussion co
41 Tjwgrr: Being in GRR, I can confirm N757BJ as Pace 1504 was in GRR and took the Timberwolves to MDW late Wednesday evening. http://flightaware.com/live/fligh
42 United787: I saw that plane while it was still smoldering, not the kind of thing that you want to see just before you take off.
43 Piedmont767LGW: UAL also brought in a stretch DC-8 in the late '70's or early '80's for some PR event, but I can't remember if it was a -61 or a -71 which would have
