KORD - Chicago O'Hare

[NickPeterman]

That Evergreen shot is a real gem, and if it was taken recently, could very well be one of the last photos taken of it before its retirement earlier this week. Nicely done!

[Threshold Aviation]

Sadly that EIA shot was taken back in May but the others were taken last week. Thanks and lets hope to see the few other airlines with the -200 stick around for some time!

[NickPeterman]

Sadly the Evergreen 200s have flown their last flights. Maybe Kalitta will hold out longer 

[LB]

I'm also digging the -200 shot - too bad the numbers are dwindling.  Great to see some activity in this thread over the past few days.

Off to a good start at ORD this year! I already have a "catch of the year" candidate (KLM)!

Damn I wish I knew that KLM MD-11 was inbound I would've at least tried to get it

All taken at ORD except for the KAL 777, which was taken from my yard while on approach to runway 10.

This thread needs more photographers! Here are a few taken by my long deceased great grandfather around the 60's at ORD that I hope someone will want to see. Unfortunately the box containing perhaps hundreds of his aircraft slides was damaged in a flood, hence the blue bars.
