Wayne and I flew into KORD on Sunday. The weather was lousy but those 777's look nice.

I saw Mike on line and jumped on also to fly with him. The rest of you can do it also.

I had a little better visibility than Mike on landing and the moisture in the air caused my wings and flaps to condense the air. Neat effect it was. A nice Sunday afternoon jaunt.

Mike, looks like you had a little of a tense landing with that weather, however I'm sure you nailed it with a 50fpm landing :) .

Looks like you two had fun. Think I was in the middle of watching my playback of the Formula 1 race in Russia (actually took place at 6am my time). Maybe I'll get to join you on your next one.

Ted,
I didn't see runway lights until 800 feet. I was getting ready to go around.
