Thank you for flying from our airport, MCW! We hope you come back summer 2024 once the new terminal is complete and open!

I seriously do not mind flying on the old CRJ-200. I like it. Being a small, short guy probably helps.

I did ORD-FOD-MCW-ORD in 2022! It was a fun ride! We were late leaving ORD, but I wasn't concerned since the plane wasn't leaving without me haha! Someone came on to scan our boarding passes at Fort Dodge, they just manually boarded everyone on the computer at Mason City. On the FOD-MCW leg we flew at around 3,000ft (was your captain mistaken about it being 12kft?)

Very interesting triangle route!

Nice plane!

You just skimmed by the history plaque.

The typical CRJ broken APU 😂

[@mcraft2240]

People actually got off the plane in Ft Dodge? Seems like a waste of money for such a short drive.

[@theplanesguy]

The people who got off at Fort Dodge were people coming from Chicago as the plane does ORD-MCW-FOD-ORD

Most horrible airliner I’ve ever flown.
