Chicago Air and Water Show

The annual ‘Chicago Air and Water Show’ is amongst the most gala aviation events in the entire world. After all, very few similar events can boast an average spectator base of some 2.2 million. This year, the event would be held on 14th and 15th August from 11 am to 4 pm and would also complete its 52nd anniversary. The venue is North Avenue Beach, Chicago. The show, which started out as a mere part of the ‘Family Day Celebration’ on a budget of about US$88 has now become a gigantic event backed by sponsors like Shell Oil Products, Pepsi-Cola, The Boeing Company, Chicago Tribune, Hyatt Regency McMormick Place, and American Airlines to name just a few.

This year round, the show promises to outdo itself like every preceding year. The expected headliners are to be none other than the US Navy Blue Angels, US Army Parachute Team Golden Knights, and US Navy Parachute Team Leap Frogs. Naturally, superhuman feats like parachute jumps from 12,500 feet and amazing aircraft formation flights are to be a part and parcel of this show. To carry home awesome reminders of this mesmerizing experience, one can purchase a copy of the Official Air Show Souvenir Program.
