Flying with my favorite Female Pilot [] Chicago Views in the Piper Warrior

[@markmcdaniel3975]

Great to see brother and sister enjoying themselves together doing something they both enjoy.

We used to fly together all the time. For a while I owned a Cessna 150 and 172 so we would go on all kinds of trips and just chase each other around the pattern sometimes. We haven’t been able to fly together as much lately but hopefully we can get more time flying together in the future… Certainly a favorite!

What a beautiful Thanksgiving flight! I must say for never flying a Warrior and haven't flown in a couple years, your sister did an awesome job. That's so cool to also hear that she's going to be getting back into it as well. As always thank you for bringing us along with you Mark and I'll see you in the next one. Until then blessings to you and your family.

Some of my favorite flying. Flying with family never gets old… Hopefully we will be able to get more videos and flying together soon… when we both lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan we used to do all kinds of flying together but back then GoPro really wasn’t a thing. Hopefully all is well for you and you are staying warm. Headed to the airport now. Going to Florida so hopefully I get to see a little bit of sunshine…

I just got confirmation that I get to go on a discovery flight for my 16th bday. Chasing my dream to become a pilot 👍 😀.

Lived in Schererville for a number of years. Recognize everything youre flying over!

[@AviatorMark]

So neat. We actually live there now just south of the airport.

I'm sure this Thanksgiving was very memorable for both you and your wife, with the birth of your son Isaac. Thanks for sharing the great photo of you and Isaac, he looks healthy and happy. It is great that you and your sister had this flight together, around Chicago, to top off a Holiday weekend. Having lived and worked downtown for about 15 years, it is always great to see the city from above, many memories.

[@AviatorMark]

Thanks Ben! Yes, I see I missed a few comments on this video. Sorry about that. I didn’t realize you worked downtown for so long. I’m sure you have a lot of great memories from your time down there. It was so nice to fly with my sister again and I can’t wait to do it again. Hope all is well for you and thanks for staying in touch.

Missing Meigs Field

[@AviatorMark]

I wish I could’ve landed there! A real dream dashed away!

[@Chrispen.E]

Great video! I’d say that’s a pretty good tradition you got there flying around Chicago! Can’t wait for our next flight and for weather to warm up 🥶

[@AviatorMark]

Flying traditions make for some of the best traditions! Let’s get up soon!

[@ronrivers4261]

Touring the city looked like a lot of fun! I too took some time off flying around the time when we had the terrorist attacks on 911 and have not had the chance to continue. I do plan to get back up, but don't know exactly when. So, I will continue to watch and enjoy your videos instead. I think you are an excellent instructor and wish more instructors were thorough yet patient like you. Thanks for sharing!

[@AviatorMark]

Thank you! That means a lot… I certainly hope you are able to get back into fly sooner rather than later. Cheers to a fantastic day!

[@publicmail2]

Nothing like being up there above the mere mortals.

[@AviatorMark]

💯💯💯

[@Elginet]

Great video! I miss doing the Downtown Chicago runs escpecially when Meigs was there!

[@AviatorMark]

It is certainly missed! That was always a goal of mine - to land there but it never happened… Unfortunately it was torn up before I got my pilots license.

[@theflyingadventures]

It looks like you had a great flight, nice views too. I flew in the US once, that was a great experience!

[@devonteflowers219]

I hope you’re holiday was well. Welcome sister. But every Christmas we wake up and make a decent size breakfast and then we then around dinner time we sit around the table and tell old stories and we always decorate the inside of the house it’s a family tradition

[@AviatorMark]

Sometimes story telling amongst family is just the best time ever! Good memories, good traditions, and good times…

Where exactly is that Lansing airport? I live just south of KLAN, and the runway orientation is 10/28.
