How was the trip?

Ugh! Arrival in Chicago involved an ILS Circle-to-land approach to minimums. (That might not mean anything to you, I don't know, it means it's challenging) All day Thursday I had to sit in a meeting that didn't involve me. We were scheduled to depart Chicago at 10:30 Friday, the boss shows up at 11:45. IFR all the way with another ILS approach into St. Paul (no lunch). Other than that, great!

Fliers do use a lot of acronyms, don't they?

I have a vague idea, I know what ILS is and "Circle to Land" is, not sure how the combination works.

Did you land at Midway, O'Hare or one of the outlying airports?
