Chicago Air Show 2007 Takes Of This Weekend

This weekend sees one big event happening in Chicago and that is the 49th Annual Chicago Air & Water Show.

The great thing about this exciting event is that you don’t have to be in one particularly crowded area to see the planes and boats, although it does help if you’re near the lakefront.

This is the oldest event of its kind in the country, and attracts around two million–you heard that right people to the lakefront from Fullerton Avenue to the Oak Street Beach. It’s completely free, and a Chicago tradition not to be missed.

This year you will be able to see the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, The U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights, The Firebirds, the Red Baron Pizza Squadron, the Aero Shell Aerobatic Team, and the Lima Lima Flight Team and pilot Sean Tucker with Team Oracle. The Shell Extreme Water Show will include some amazing acrobatics and incredible pro freestyle stunts from the Liquid X Freestyle water show and the Munson Ski and Inboard Water Sports Ski Show Team.

The 49th Annual Chicago Air & Water Show runs both days this weekend August 18 and 19, from 9 am till 4pm
