It is indeed useful, O'Hare Terminal 4 - good information for the members who might consider using AeroTucán. The drive over that extension of the Sierra Madre can take a lot of time and is definitely exciting.

AeroTucán's Caravan can be tossed about by winds on occasion, and it's more likely in the afternoon. Just south at the Isthmus of Tehuantepéc, it can get VERY windy - like a month at a time, and trailer trucks can be tossed off the side of the road. Coriolis effect has winds West to East, and though they are not as strong at this juncture as they are down south, as they are pushed up by the mountain range it can be bumpy.
