The legacy of our airport’s namesake, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Edward “Butch” O’Hare continues to be honored and solidified. A replica of the F4F-3 Grumman Wildcat plane he courageously flew in World War II and artifacts of his Medal of Honor actions were rededicated in 2017 and are located at the Butch O’Hare exhibit in Terminal 2. “Butch” O’Hare’s name has also become a part of folklore, too, and will be respectfully used as a part of our travelers social media experience.

We have entered into a partnership with students at DeVry University in Chicago to develop airport games for the “Fly with Butch O’Hare” program. The game development is made possible by the creative power of talented IT students guided by professors at DeVry University in Chicago working in partnership with the Chicago Department of Aviation.
