Ten months after my first trip to Chicago, the chance came around for a second visit, again, not as such a spotting trip, but as with last year, I allowed a full day at either end of the trip to spend at O'Hare. Last time, I travelled with BA there and back, but this time, American had the better prices and flight times, so I travelled on a 747 out and a 777 back. I stayed in the Write Inn at Oak Park again, and used the taxis to get to and from O'Hare. I had made some pretty good inroads into most of the major carriers' fleets last year so knew that I wouldn't make such a haul this time but with the better part of a year gone since that first trip, I was hoping that I would see the majority of the frames I needed to plug the gaps. I used the same spot in the American terminal, handy for toilets, food and drinks. Maybe the cops remembered me from last year? I don't know but several walked by, said "hi" and kept walking.
I spent the 25th and 30th May at O'Hare and again, the weather was warm and dry, although not as hot as it had been the previous July. This is the log of the frames I made on the first day there. Of course, being a third trip here, I also saw loads that I'd seen last year. Still managed to pot 239, and really did start to fill in the holes as required....
