At my low-ish altitudes, Green Bay couldn't hand me off to Chicago Center
for flight following, so we were soon on our own, watching the emerald-green
Wisconsin landscape unfold beneath us.


It has been my experience flying thru Chicago's airspace that if you
are VFR and want flight following, you are likely not going to get it.
I have flown thru there many times and 9-10 times while VFR they would
drop me. In fact the few times that I have received flight following
thru thier airspace, I have gotten a comment from the controler that
this must be my lucky day, Chicago has agreed to accept you. I have
always wondered if I should land and buy a lottery ticket when this
does happen.
