Strong in tradition and one of the largest free admission events of its kind, the 2014 Air and Water Show headliners include the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels have been astounding audiences since 1946 with their gravity defying flying, commanding presence and supersonic maneuvers in their F/A-18 Hornets. The brave men and women of the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights and the U.S. Navy Leap Frogs will inspire spectators as they jump out of an aircraft 12,500 feet above the earth’s surface, racing to North Avenue Beach at speeds exceeding 120 mph, making a perfect landing.
Other military demonstration teams joining the Blue Angels, Golden Knights and the Leap Frogs are the Marine MV-22 Osprey helicopter and the U.S. Air Force F-22.
The full show schedule, featuring a wide variety of civilian acts, daredevil pilots and aerial stunts, can be found online at the official website: chicagoairandwatershow.us.
