The Chicago Air and Water Show took place on Aug. 20-21 with less than ideal weather. These photos were taken during the Friday practice session from a comfy chair on my kids condo balcony.
The Blue Angels is the aerobatic team of the United States Navy that was formed in 1946. Their precision flying and dramatic flight maneuvers are always a big hit at air shows.
#7 Lt Griffin Stangel is a Madison Wisconsin native. The Blue Angel pilots must have complete trust in each other because often they are flying only 18 inches apart as they go through their aerobatics.
