There's something about the Chicago Air and Water Show that is both thrilling and terrifying all at once: the skies roar, our ears pop and our stomachs lurch as pilots undertake death-defying stunts overhead.
If you're the daring sort and you enjoy a thrill, then you should head to North Avenue Beach August 20 - 21 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to check out the show for yourself. Admission is free, and you're welcome to bring blankets, coolers and chairs to the beach to watch the amazing spectacle unfold.
