Chicago Air & Water 05'
We decided to weekend on the boat for this years Air & Water Show. We headed down from Winthrop Harbor around 9:30 saturday morning. It was a pretty rough ride down but we made it into Belmont harbor around 11am. After picking up our guests and fueling up we headed out to the viewing area
It was a great two days on the lake. The water was relatively calm and the weather was nice and warm. After the show Saturday we headed down to Northerly Island Pavilon and watched the O.A.R. concert. Below is some information about the planes at the show and pictures taken from th boat.
