Episode Details

The Chicago Air and Water Show is back with a bang—this year, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds are returning for their second straight appearance, stepping in for the Blue Angels who had prior commitments. It’s not the first time scheduling has shifted; both teams missed a Milwaukee show last year due to the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. Remember those ear-shattering booms during last year’s Thunderbird practice? The Air Force says it wasn’t supersonic—but windows shattered and vibrations rocked buildings. Past incidents include a Navy pilot causing $180K in damage near Mach speed and Blue Angels flying dangerously low over Florida beaches, prompting a shrug from the Acting Secretary of the Navy. This year’s show, August 15-16, also features the Army Golden Knights, Coast Guard SAR team, and civilian stars Susan Dacy and Kevin Coleman—all set against the backdrop of America’s 250th anniversary. Don’t miss the biggest free air and water show in the country.
