Wide-Eyed Travel: The Death-Defying Chicago Air and Water Show

July 22, 2008 at 10:05 AM | by | Comments (0)

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's many planes over Lake Michigan in this year's Chicago Air and Water Show, August 15-17. And the annual spectacle will have a special star, one who must not be as afraid of heights as he was of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

That's right, Bill Murray will make a special jump on Friday, the first day of the festival, with the Golden Knights parachute team. (They've handled George H.W. Bush, so maybe they're in the geriatric-jump business?)

Free boat-jumping exhibitions and the ever-present Blue Angels will swoop and dive for the thousands of spectators along the lake, and Gary Sinise's band is playing. Don't forget the fireworks all three nights!
