    As you know, I’ve flown in and out of this airport on both Air Choice One and Cape Air in the past but not yet on United. Thank you for featuring this flight on your channel and for your detailed commentary and information about it. I truly appreciate you featuring the Decatur airport because I feel it is a very big asset to the region in that it provides a legacy airline connection to Central Illinois. Thanks again!!!

    Thank you for sharing your trip. I am glad you can connect up here to Chicago. Yes, the approach here to Decatur looked nice. It is nice to see and I am glad the regional aircraft are flying to the medium and small towns here in Illinois.😊

    I fly out of BMI pretty regularly, so it’s cool to see other central Illinois airports featured on your channel!

    Good video! Another fun flight within Illinois you can take is ORD to MWA (Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois) in Marion. It’s serviced by Contour Airlines. I think that would be a new airport and a new airline for you! Just something to consider! Have a great day, and great video as always, dude!

    In March 2022, SkyWest notified the DOT of its intent to discontinue Essential Air Service to Decatur Airport. But the DOT refused to allow SkyWest to terminate service to Decatur.

    3:10 Did anyone else notice the CRJ taxing on one engine? Idk just find it cool to see that in a video, I've never noticed planes doing that irl even though I know why they do it.

      Big hubs almost always use single engine taxi operations, because they massive and can take a long time go get to/from the runway

    That flight is always late, like SPI and DEC get the worst delays but when I took it, it was a great flight never the less

    With only 2 flights to/from ORD, you have to wonder how the ground staff keep busy between flights! As for Norfolk Southern, today's Metra Southwest Service is a remnant of what pre-merger Norfolk and Western offered between CUS and Orland Park--the train would arrive there, unload and continue on empty to Decatur for overnight servicing

    EAS is something Transport Canada should look into. I know many smaller communities, including my hometown, without commercial airline service. We instead have to drive 45 minutes in sometimes severe weather to catch a flight from the nearest airport

    I like the CRJ's and ERJ's!! When I visit my mom in Bloomington, Illinois from Tampa I always schedule my trip through O'Hare to ride on the CRJ-200 or sometimes the ERJ-135-145. If that fails then I take Delta to Atlanta then onto Bloomington on the CRJ-900.
