Narrative:
The WX was very windy as we taxied for takeoff. In the ensuing roll, I heard the 'wind shear' audio warning three times as we took off. (The sound was very clear, as I was sitting next to the cockpit door). We continued to climb as the plane was rocked by the wind. About 2 or 3 mins later, the captain called me on the in-flight phone. He told me that we would have to rtn to O'hare. One of the engines had apparently become quite hot as the pilots gave full throttle on takeoff. The captain calmly explained the situation to the passenger. We returned to O'hare for a routine landing. All the passenger deplaned and reboarded another aircraft. We finally departed for cyow 3 hours late with another plane. Our original aircraft was taken out of service to inspect both engines. The captain handled the situation with the utmost care and professionalism. I was somewhat apprehensive, as I had never before experienced a wind shear warning in flight. The passenger were nervous, but reassured once we landed and switched aircraft. We were rather late when we finally reached our destination. However, we were safe and sound!

Title: FK100 FLC RETURNED TO LAND AFTER ENGINES OVERHEATED DURING TKOF IN SEVERE WINDSHEAR/CROSS WIND CONDITION.
Narrative: THE WX WAS VERY WINDY AS WE TAXIED FOR TKOF. IN THE ENSUING ROLL, I HEARD THE 'WIND SHEAR' AUDIO WARNING THREE TIMES AS WE TOOK OFF. (THE SOUND WAS VERY CLR, AS I WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE COCKPIT DOOR). WE CONTINUED TO CLIMB AS THE PLANE WAS ROCKED BY THE WIND. ABOUT 2 OR 3 MINS LATER, THE CAPT CALLED ME ON THE INFLT PHONE. HE TOLD ME THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO RTN TO O'HARE. ONE OF THE ENGINES HAD APPARENTLY BECOME QUITE HOT AS THE PLTS GAVE FULL THROTTLE ON TKOF. THE CAPT CALMLY EXPLAINED THE SIT TO THE PAX. WE RETURNED TO O'HARE FOR A ROUTINE LNDG. ALL THE PAX DEPLANED AND REBOARDED ANOTHER ACFT. WE FINALLY DEPARTED FOR CYOW 3 HRS LATE WITH ANOTHER PLANE. OUR ORIGINAL ACFT WAS TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE TO INSPECT BOTH ENGINES. THE CAPT HANDLED THE SIT WITH THE UTMOST CARE AND PROFESSIONALISM. I WAS SOMEWHAT APPREHENSIVE, AS I HAD NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED A WIND SHEAR WARNING IN FLT. THE PAX WERE NERVOUS, BUT REASSURED ONCE WE LANDED AND SWITCHED ACFT. WE WERE RATHER LATE WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED OUR DEST. HOWEVER, WE WERE SAFE AND SOUND!
