details from Trib today:
Unlike Los Angeles, which set up public viewing areas, Chicago officials are warning that police will ticket drivers who attempt to park on roads near O'Hare when the eight-story A380 touches down, scheduled for 12:50 p.m., on a flight from Kennedy.
Nothing to see here
"People should not be pulling over on the roads trying to take a look at the plane. The Police Department will be shagging people away," said Jim Szczesniak, deputy commissioner for operations at the Chicago Department of Aviation.
Perhaps the best chance to see the A380 on Tuesday will be when it crosses the Lake Michigan shoreline somewhere between Evanston and Waukegan, according to air-traffic controllers responsible for guiding the plane to O'Hare. The plane will cross the shoreline at an altitude between 7,000 and 11,000 feet.
Anticipated east winds will result in a landing on one of two runways--9 Right or 4 Right--south of O'Hare's passenger terminals near Mannheim and Irving Park Roads, aviation officials said...
When the A380 begins regular scheduled service in two years, the plane will taxi to gate M13 at the international terminal and passengers will exit via movable bridges on both sides of the aircraft, which has a total of 16 doors. Departures will be handled at Terminal 1, which houses United Airlines and its foreign partners.
