At position 38.94, -77.4656 with track 290.8°, the most aligned candidates are KMDW (Δhdg 2°, 500 nm), KORD (Δhdg 3°, 510 nm), and KOMA (Δhdg 5°, 856 nm). KMDW is a recent destination for this aircraft (flown 2026-06-17 KFTY→KMDW) and is a known Class I rail hub. The plane's low ground speed (138 kt) and altitude (300 ft) suggest it is either in initial climb or a local maneuver near KIAD; the median cruise speed of 430 kt makes a 500 nm leg plausible. The past record for this person has many misses, but among aligned candidates KMDW is favored by its recency and alignment. Alternates KORD and KOMA are also aligned, with KORD being a recurring destination; both are viable but slightly less aligned or less recent.
