I departed Chicago once...
Click to expand...
Last time I departed Chicago was (Iirc) 2015. There was a tornado that day or the remnants of one in the area. I’m in first class and we’re sitting on the runway waiting to take off. So I’m sitting there soaking up free booze for what felt like hours while we get pelted with the weather. Finally I have a nap. I wake up to what I thought was turbulence in flight only to realize we’re still on the damn ground. The plane was shaking like crazy. We were sitting there for so long waiting for the tornado to pass, the crew timed out and we had to go back for a fresh set of pilots.
Needless to say the flight was ‘orrible and about 8 hours late. Thank god for the flight attendants in the front of the plane. They made sure I didn’t care about the weather.
Sometimes (nay, all the time) I’m glad I don’t have to fly for work anymore.

Same thing happened to me at LaGuardia trying to get over to Vegas, we were too far away from ramp to run AC too, nasty hot..

When we were leaving Athens Greece , already the longest flight we’d ever been on at 12-13 hrs if I remember right, we were delayed another 3+ hrs sitting on the tarmac in full midday Mediterranean sun because of an Air Canada computer problem back in Toronto. They were begging everyone to close their windows because the AC system couldn’t keep up. It was a brutal flight home after an otherwise great vacation.

Well, I’m out of the race for the time being, so your chances for the upcoming LS drop just rose. ;)

I still have the Locust Star on my GAS list, but I decided to priorise the Damnation Audio MBP-2. For now.

hahaha -- Yes, if I can't hunt one down before, I'll def be in on the next drop. I just figured it would save me the drop day desperation, F5 madness, sleepless night, etc. if I could find one before. And, as drops seem to be happening pretty random and at times with no notice, it's getting a little crazy. But, I'm patient. I know I'll get one one way or another eventually :)

LS should have an advertised release date since it's still on the main page. It's all the new secret stuff that had new secret drops.

Question for any of you in the US who purchased from any of the recent drops. I snagged a Messenger from the most recent drop, which just arrived today. Coincidentally, so did the credit card bill with that transaction on it. Has anyone else been hit by their card company with a foreign transaction fee for making their purchase from Canada? It must be a new thing as I've never had it come up before. Just wondering if others are now paying the same fee to their card companies. Mine was Bank Of America. Maybe I need to start using a different bank. :sour: :rollno:

I've snagged 3-4 straight from Broughton, and have never been hit with any weird fees by customs or my bank (PNC).
