Flying over Chicago at 10,500 feet
Downwind for Rwy 27
Base leg for landing on runway 27. I was instructed to land on the Orange Dot. No problem
Lots of airplanes parked all over
Taxiing south along runway 18. I see a problem, a C24 coming my way.
I was diverted up the taxiway to Aero Shell Square.
They hooked me to a tug and put me on display with the other "important" airplanes.
Duggy is cute!
From the "old days"
The C24 is being towed in.
The wing fit over my plane easily.
Now they will tow me back to the taxiway.
At the yellow line I can start my engine and taxi to normal parking.
