Honestly do not know. I was hoping someone who was in Chicago last week would chime in the information. The airplanes make a low rumble from their high-bypass engines, it's really impressive. These pictures hardly convey the feeling of mass you get from one going over your head.

When (on a procedure turn) do you boys normally lower the gear?

Drop the gear approaching the FAF. All in the name of fuel savings!

Slight thread drift, but here's the first commercial C-17 in unique colors that left Long Beach recently.

Not my picture. Photo credit to Michael Carter. And yes, it's for real.
