The second you have the opportunity to go, take it. It is such a magnificent, clean city! So much to do, so much to see. If you want some aviation while on in Chicago, I recommend going during the Annual Air and Water Show. From the lakeshore, there are some fantastic views. Unfortunately, while there isn't anything happening, it can get a little boring. But it is great fun...and usually features the Blue Angels.

I will check it out..I have seen the Blue Angeles. They are great!!
-
I have seen the Blue Angels a few times. Their show is always a thrill to see :)

It was a complete shame what mayor Dick Daley had done. Going back on his word,in the middle of the night bulldozers tore up the middle of the runway and put X's at the ends. Their were planes that were trapped but were allowed to takeoffusing the shorter taxiway. To take away an airport that was vital to THE business community and make it a park was just beyond wrong; Anyone hear of Grant Park....... :P ::)

How was Meigs vital? Sure it was a nice option for business travelers that had their own jet but it wasn't really vital? But I do agree that the way he went about it was wrong. And don't criticize Chicago's parks...they are some damn nice parks. :P :D
Speaking of the 727, I've actually been in that at the Museum. Very cool exhibit.

Their's nothing wrong with Chicago's parks;besides my famliy is from Chicago and Meigs was important to the business community period. :)

Well Vital might be a bit strong,but maybe not? Miegs housed the City's Air/Sea rescue unit for The City's Lakefront area,Now that unit is relocated[@ a cost of 8mil to taxpayers] more than 8miles south.That 8 mile travel time could be the difference between life and death for victims of a boating accident or a drowning.Also the Biz jet traffic that used to go to Miegs is now diverted to Midway or O'Hare adding to the already congestion of Commercial traffic which also lowers air safety.
One of my best memory's of Miegs was @ the 2002 air and Water show when Aerial Acrobat Sean Tucker Hung his Oracle Challenger vertically 20ft off the ground and basically hovered in front of a flight line of Army Apache helicopters and their pilots and gunners.........Wow!!! talk about a rush!!! that was cool!!

I was at the Air and Water show last summer! To be honest, it was quite boring due to how long the time interval was between acts but it was awesome seeing the Blue Angels and things flying over while eating at the Navy Pier.
