From an aircraft manufacturing plant during World War II to the busiest passenger airport in the world, the land that O'Hare International Airport currently sits on has been used for aviation activity for almost 100 years. Originally Douglas Field, then Orchard Field, the City of Chicago gave O'Hare its current name in 1949 to honor Edward O'Hare, the U.S. Navy's first flying ace.
A shining symbol of the jet age, O'Hare sported innovative features like the first jet bridge, underground fueling, and rail access from downtown. The airport is always changing, evolving to meet the shifting needs of aviation in the modern age. Come fly with us and celebrate 80 years of O'Hare International Airport.
From 17z until 20z you can expect full coverage in the Hungarian airspace, including LHBP - Budapest, LHDC - Debrecen and LHSM - Sármellék/Hévíz-Balaton.
Grab a cup of tea or some snacks and plan for a great evening in the Budapest FIR.
