Back to Schiller Park

With the change of aircraft flow, it meant I had one more chance to spot at Schiller Park.  I actually prefer spotting at Schiller Park.  The lighting is generally better when I am there.  I also get a chance to see the planes from a much longer distance.
Before the planes started to fly in this direction, they had to go in holding patterns which the planes on approach from the other way cleared.  Anyway.
 First up was an American Airlines 787 coming in from Rome.
 A Beacon shot.
 My favorite angle.  I really like the clouds in this shot.
 It was followed by another American 787.
 This particular one has the tail number N800AN.  It was the first 787 that American Airlines bought.  It entered the fleet in 2015.  This time it was arriving from Rome.
 A Qatar 777 coming in from Qatar.
 Another angle of that plane.
 A United 777 coming in from Munich.
 This picture gives you an idea of how busy it is at O'Hare.  There are three planes in this picture and they are all within in a couple of minutes of each other.
 A United A320 coming in from Orlando.
 This is an A350 that belongs to Iberia airlines.  They were the first airline to buy them.
 It was arriving from Madrid.
 An Aer Lingus A330 arriving from Dublin.
 A United 767 arriving from Rome.
 A Cathay Pacific 777 arriving from Hong Kong.
 This plane had an interesting story this day.  It was originally supposed to land at O'Hare earlier in the day but there were some nasty thunderstorms, so it was diverted to Detroit.
 At this point, it was arriving from Detroit.
A United 777.

Sadly, I couldn't stay much longer if I wanted to get home at a reasonable time.
