Night flight to Chicago. Flying to the Rockies - Part 1

Flying a V tail Bonanza on a ski trip to the Rocky Mountains from the East Coast. After lots of weather planning, we decided to pick up my buddy Gustaf (who flew in from Europe) in Chicago and head for the mountains. I ended up leaving West Chester, PA (OQN) later than originally planned and had nice solo night flight to Chicago, with a quick fuel stop in Niles, MI (3TR). After picking up Gustaf, we departed Schaumburg (06C) for Wichita, KS, (ICT) where we stopped for the night. #aviation #bonanza
