Chicago Air & Water Show 2021 (Blue Angels Only)
It looks like no official show but the Blue Angels will do their demo on Saturday and Sunday August 21st & 22nd (12 to 1 PM) and they will practice Friday the 20th sometime between 10 AM to 2 PM. Sucks not to have the full show but really looking forward to seeing the Blues in the Super Hornets!

I knew when the F-35 was taken off a few weeks back it wasn't a good sign. If the mayor is touting opening Chicago and having the BA there, why not a complete show? It's outdoors with about a 0 % chance of virus transmission. And Chicago has aggressively pushed the vaxx.RAPTOR-72 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 12:56 pm It looks like no official show but the Blue Angels will do their demo on Saturday and Sunday August 21st & 22nd (12 to 1 PM) and they will practice Friday the 20th sometime between 10 AM to 2 PM.

Does anyone know if the Blues will be staging out of Gary/Chicago Intl per usual? I'd like to take my 3 yr old son and my Dad to watch them on Fri (practice) or Sun. Thanks I appreciate any details.

They arrived at Gary today.The main lot will most likely be open but it looks like most of the side lots will be blocked off. The jets are by the Jet center building but you can not see them from the main lot. Not sure if they are going to let people get up to the fence or not.

Thanks @RFDguy and @bigt512 for the heads up and info. Im going to take my son on Sunday and see if we can get any good views. Anyone know what time they are taking off for the Sat & Sun shows at 12? I am assuming probably wheels up around 11:30am or 11:45am?? I know its like a 2 min flight to downtown Chi from there haha.

The Cubs broadcast has had some nice footage of the Blues flying past Wrigley today.

Two things. 1 Had a friend out at Gary today. He said that the cops were not letting anyone park along the road at all. He said that they were even chasing people out of one of the empty parking lots by the airport. Not sure about the main lot. 2 was at show center and the Blue angels did a 2 hour practice at 10. It was a circle and arrival" orientation flight. Then about 1330 they did a full high show. After that we got a couple of nice passes from Fat Albert.
