When we came through ORD at around 8 pm or so on 12/20, what i was hearing on channel 9 was that the penalty box was full and they were having the overflow planes do laps around "the scenic route"... </font>
Yeah, I've done the scenic route before. Last time, I looked out the window and noticed what was going on. Pilot finally came on and said that because of wind change they were "turning the airport around" and we got to do a couple laps of the airport.
