We are starting to see more routes out of Chicago flying, two new airports for myself in my list, FSD (Sioux Falls) and CMI (Champaign). I love stopping in at new destinations as it brings new challenges that we can learn and work from. I flew the ORD-FSD route, roughly an hour airtime. It is one of our higher elevation airports we visit, sitting roughly 1,400’. There are only a few airports in our network that are over 1,000’ elevation. Overall, this month turned out to be great with block versus credit hours, a nice change of pace to the usual 80+ hours block I was aiming for per month.
Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Helene, I was unable to get to my Asheville turn on September 29th, as much of the area is suffering from the catastrophic weather. They had been canceling flights from previous days and I was monitoring the departure/arrival flights. It seems that operations resumed the following day.
One month closer to upgrade, I’ll leave everyone in suspense…
