Guy is nuts to go into OHare. I can just imagine what happened when
they had him taxi in. Those taxiways are complicated and crowded. I
don't think I'd go into OHare without a copilot who had been there.

I've been to Hartsfield in a C-172 and JFK in a C-414. Getting in was
relatively easy; it was trying to leave that was the PITA.

But, he wasn't going to O'Hare. He was going to O'Har"a". He
should be de-winged just for not knowing the proper name!

It is interesting... lots of people including people from that exact
area during the transition of that field from Orchard to ohare call it
ohara. (google finds lots of references to it as ohara)

I wonder why that is? Maybe it is just the older Italians I know from
that area.

As is O'Hara. They're actually just two different spellings of the
same original Irish name. Since O'Hara is the more common spelling,
I'm not surprised that people mix this up.
