Wonder what happened with the fox as we were leaving on the other runway and the channel changed.
Also, saw a Southwest plane land at O'hare, and hear two different Southwest flight numbers on the TOWER or GROUND radio (not Chicago Center) over channel 9. Was wondering what was going on with that?
I've been at ORD aboard plans and seen foxes running around, sometimes in the moments before I've heard about them on channel 9. One would think there would be some way to get rid of them before one gets sucked into an engine...
