Wake turbulance at ORD?

Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:56 pm

FAA website lists wake turbulance as the cause of the current delays at ORD. Am I missing something? Or is the airspace around ORD currently saturated with widebodies?

Is Obama still in the area or flying out? It could be a security cover for a VIP movement.

A VIP Movement would be listed as such. And a former president doesn't get any special treatment.

You would be surprised at how the media and official government departments can tell white lies in the name of national security, even to protect a former President I would not put it past them.
