Wow, really? Is there somewhere to find the official schedule online? Would be helpful to know where to look to plan lunch break, etc. tomorrow.

So I'm assuming WBBM will update it for Saturday.

Awesome! Anyone know when the F-16 and F-22 demo teams will perform?

From the Chicago Air & Water Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ChicagoAirandWater/

FYI everyone, help spread the word... the RAF Red Arrows will be performing Sat/Sun mid show; closer to 12 noon instead of closing the show. We can't give precise times of course because of weather and other factors but be sure to plan ahead!
• US Army Golden Knights towards the beginning.
• RAF Red Arrows towards the middle.
• U.S. Navy Blue Angels at the end.

Before I went to bed last night the forecast was partly to mostly cloudy with no mention of rain for today. I wake up and it’s 80% chance of heavy thunderstorms. Am I the only one that thinks weather forecasting has gotten worse in the last few years? Here’s to hoping the show goes on today.

Red Arrows were fun! Definitely worth the trip.

Golden Knights, Leap Frogs, and Blue Angels were all rained out Saturday. Blue Angels did three flat passes in the delta formation and left.
