Private Sscenic airplane flight in Chicago

Discover Chicago on a private airplane flight

This private airplane flight in Chicago offers an aerial discovery of the city and its lakefront during a flight of about 35 minutes. The experience begins at Chicago Executive Airport, where the pilot welcomes passengers and explains the flight sequence before boarding a Cessna 177 Cardinal, a single-engine aircraft known for its stability and visibility. The flight is fully private for your group, with a maximum capacity of three passengers, allowing a personalized route and direct interaction with the pilot throughout this discovery flight.

Flight path over Lake Michigan

After takeoff, the airplane gains altitude and gradually heads toward Lake Michigan, flying along the shoreline at a distance suited to provide clear views of the coast. This first part of the flight makes it possible to observe the contrast between the water and the neighborhoods located north of Chicago, before continuing toward iconic areas such as Navy Pier, easily recognizable from the air. The pilot adjusts the flight path and altitude to maintain views of the lakefront while explaining the role of the shoreline in the city’s layout.

Downtown overflight and return to the airport

Continuing south, the airplane reaches downtown Chicago, offering direct views of the skyline and major urban parks. The overflight of Millennium Park helps locate the heart of the city, while the buildings of the Loop stand out for their density and architecture. The flight then makes a turn over the lake to provide a second perspective on downtown before returning to Chicago Executive Airport. This route allows you to discover Chicago from the air, between the lakefront and the dense urban core, along a flight path well suited to the city’s geography.
