PART 91 POSITIONING FLIGHT WITH NO PASSENGERS FROM MDW TO ORD, AIRCRAFT ENTERED THE SIGNATURE FLIGHT SUPPORT RAMP. THE CREW REPORTED THAT RAMP PERSONNEL WERE NOT PRESENT. THEY TAXIED FORWARD ON THE RAMP, WHEN A LONE MARSHALLER INDICATED TO PARK BEHIND WHERE THE AIRCRAFT WAS. THE FLIGHT CREW CONDUCTED A 180 DEGREE TURN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
