On Saturday morning, June 9, 2018, the whole Chicago area was inundated with heavy rain and thunderstorms. I had an Angel Flight mission to fly a youngster from KIGQ to KMSN that morning. As soon as I left my home airport KISW at 0645 CT, I could see on the iPad that my filed route was not going to work. Negotiations with ZAU and Milwaukee TRACON went well, and the Comanche got routed over Lake Michigan well east of the shoreline between Milwaukee and Chicago. As busy as was the Chicago TRACON, I was treated with nothing but the best of service and made into KIGQ with no problem. On the way out of KIGQ as NGF4033, I was virtually taken by the hand into and through the Class B at 6000 MSL. A departing airliner was kept below us until separation for his climb was assured, with no complaint from him and nothing but excellent service from you. Once out of the weather we were cleared direct KMSN. What great service on a very busy day! Thank you, Chicago TRACON.
