Travel Info What time is the A380 Airbus to take off from Chicago on tuesday.? Travel Tips The A380 left O'Hare at 8PM last night. (Around 4PM, I came across an article in the Daily Herald article that mentioned the take-off time.) My office is at the corner of Elmhurst Rd and Arthur Av in Elk Grove Village, which is directly across the street from the north edge of Runway 14R/32L. Planes fly over our building all day long. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:ord_a... Since 14R/32L is O'Hare's longest runway, I knew there was good chance the A380 would take off from there. So I drove back to the office @ 7:30 last night. When I arrived, there were already at least 6 other cars in our parking lot (along with an Elk Grove squad car). The plane took off on-time @ 8. It turned early so it never came across Elmhurst Road, but we were still able to see it clearly. It's huge but much quieter than I thought. (Unfortunately, I have only one photo, and it's very blurry because of the low light.) Too bad all of this flight info wasn't easier to find. I would've loved to have seen the landing up-close. Fortunately, ABC7 has about 16 minutes of footage of the landing posted on their website: http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section... |
