Today some planes were already flying around the sunny Chicago sky to announce the Chicago Air & Water Show coming up this weekend. I do enjoy the flybys and noise for some hours, but most fun might be that at half the rooftops are filled with neighbors also trying to figure out where the noise - often bouncing off higher buildings or carried by the wind - comes
from.

Have a great weekend!

"Chicago Air & Water Show" (2023)

Once a year, half the city seems to be spending their weekend afternoons on balconies and rooftops when airplanes blast through the Chicago sky. Sometimes I enjoy watching everyone searching for the noise somewhere in the air more than the actual planes flying by.

>> #Boeing Assures Public Blue Angels Are Safe Because They’re Made for the Military, Not You People

The above is satire, but one wouldn't know that just from the headline, which sounds entirely plausible.

I wouldn't put it past Boeing to actually make the callous suggestion that we people matter less than the military whose job it is to protect us people.

Enough to induce terror as #BlueAngels will be flying right outside my windows 😱 in #Chicago this weekend #AirAndWaterShow

I hate the militarism and climate impacts of it, but I’m not gonna pretend like those planes aren’t hella cool machines. Exquisite pieces of engineering operated with incredible skill. #chicago #airAndWaterShow
