A Relaxing, Scenic Flight over Northern Illinois

So far the weather this summer has been ideal for flying.  Here's another flight over northern Illinois.

 

Delightful Flight Along Chicago's Lakefront

Another awesome summer day to fly, this time along Chicago's lakefront.  From Schaumburg Airport I flew to Waukegan and then headed south over the water with the city to my right. You can see some pics below of Navy Pier, the downtown/Loop area.  Then I flew over the South Loop and further south and then west.

 

July 4th in a Cessna 172 over Northern Illinois

I had the pleasure of flying today, July 4th, and brought a flag along for the ride.  The weather was nice and not too much traffic coming in and out of Chicago Executive Airport.  Cheers and Happy Fourth!

A great day to fly this C-172.
