Been seeing a lot of westbound landings going to RWY 11/29 versus the 2 closest runways. Gotta be some loooong taxi times back to the gates - especially to T2. SHEESH

Jump to postI have taken the train to downtown from O'Hare! Long and arduous is an understatement, but like slider said, it gets the job done!
What would be interesting, though, is also improving O'Hare-North Shore rail access as currently the only way is to go downtown, take a bus, or by car.
IDK...it looked more like a passenger plane with windows and all, but I could be wrong!
I tried looking on FlightAware, but no such luck!
On a walk through downtown, I spotted what appeared to be a 747 (or possibly an A340) that came in over the Mississippi River on descent headed toward <acronym title="St. Louis - Lambert-St. Louis International (STL / KSTL), USA - Missouri">STL</acronym>!

Jump to postI gotta agree with DocLightning on his description of the Boeing NSA. It has already been described as such from within Boeing!
The 757 turned out to be more of a one-off narrowbody...too bad the -100 never caught on instead of the 737-400! I would've liked that!
