Default Chicago Air & Water Show

Community Organizers, let me know if this is against the rules!

(And for those that know me, I was at Friday night lights on August 5th!)

So I work for the Air Force and will be working the Air & Water Show for the third time this year. I can get people into the VIP section for free since I'll be in uniform. If anyone want's to go, I can get you in on Sunday August 21st with no problem. You'll be right by center stage and able to sit in the chairs on the beach. I won't be able to get you in if you try to come Saturday, I'll be busy taking care of the General coming, but Sunday I'll be free all day.

For those that want to go, start a list and send me a PM so I can get a head count. I'll send you my phone number and all you have to do is shoot me a text that day and I'll get you in.

I can't get 20+ in, so lets keep the number at around 10-15. Try to keep this to you and your family if you want to go. I can't be letting you and 5+ friends in. But if it's your kids and such, that's a different story.

This is an awesome opportunity if you've never been. The AF Thunderbirds are going to be here this year, and the Air Show in general is just amazing.

The show went great as usual but the cloud ceiling was pretty low so they didnt get to do a few of there extreme high elevation maneuvers. Still great show. My advice is try to get as close to "show center" as you can so the passes and flyby's are alot more exciting.

There's a good chance a group of us will be around UIC area the night before and incredibly hungover the next morning, but I'm interested. I sent you a text.
