The Chicago Air and Water Show is occurring this weekend. I'm spending a good portion of my weekend there, for sure, since I live so close and have quick transport (bike).

Well, the coolness is that I'm enjoying deafening fly-by's right now -- no less than 6 F15's [edit] F/A-18's (yep, the Blue Angels) taking practice rolls past my window every few minutes. It's AWESOME.

The Blue Angels are suppose to be here next year. The "Water Follies Assoc." is trying to get the funding. Saw them at McChord AirForce base in Tacoma, when I was a kid, cool stuff. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

Ooooooh! I'm getting the F/A18 and F15 fly-by's again today. I'm on the 23rd floor so it's almost like I have to barely look up at them. I'lll remember to take pics this weekend, but I don't know how good they'll be.

No clear shot, no pay, you know the drill.

Just try to take a snapshot of the Hornet, that'll do.
