My Trip to O'Hare - Part II

This is the next part of my series from O'Hare.  As I said in the last post, I spent about 5 hours there in total.  I think there was a plane about every minute or so.  At one time, O'Hare used to be the busiest airport in the world.  Currently, it is the sixth busiest in the world by passenger traffic.  Almost 80,000,000 people use this airport per year.  O'Hare is unusual in that it the hub for two airlines, United and American.  It is United's largest hub and the third largest for American.  It also serves as a focus city for Spirit and Frontier.
 There are also several international flights that arrive here.  First up is this China Eastern plane from Shanghai.
 Alitalia was formed in 1947 and is the flag carrier for Italy.  This particular flight came from Rome.
 An Aeromexico plane from Mexico City.
 I've seen Aer Lingus planes before but I still love their livery.  This plane arrived from Dublin.
 A United 767 arriving from Heathrow Airport in London.
 Hainan Airlines is another one of the Chinese airlines.  This particular 787 was arriving from Beijing.  It is the Kung Fu panda livery.
 An Austrian Airline coming from Vienna.
 Iberia is the flag carrier for Spain.  This particular plane was arriving from Madrid.
 A 737 coming from Austin.
 An Embrear from Houson.
 A 787 arriving from Paris.
 KLM is the Dutch Airlines.  This used to be a regular airline at Detroit but I think it fell to the wayside after the merger of Northwest and Delta.  I actually like this livery and wish we could see one of these again.  This particular plane was arriving from Amsterdam.
 A 737 from Colorado Springs.
 Another 737 from San Francisco.
 An Embrear 175 from Tulsa.
 A 787 arriving from Heathrow.
 Another 787 from Quebec.
 Emirates is an airline from the United Arab Emirates.
 This particular 777 was arriving from Dubai.
 A 737 from Denver.
 A 787 from Manchester.
 This 777 was arriving from Quebec.
 Another plane arriving from Frankfurt.
I can't quite make out the tail number for this one but it is a 757.
