From before the COVID-19 days, this was a quick lunch flight to Schaumburg, IL (06C), a small general aviation airport just a few miles west of Chicago O'Hare, where I met some friends for lunch at Pilot Pete's, the popular airport restaurant.
I find Schaumburg interesting that that there are somewhat unusual ATC procedures for IFR flights going to Schaumburg (06C does not have any instrument approaches). Also, to get an IFR flight plan into the Chicago area accepted by the FAA's computer is a bit of an art that benefits from local knowledge, and filed flight plan is often quite different from the flown route to this airport. I try to explain all that in this video.
