[title]It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a trio of planes performing synchronized loop-de-loops! The annual Air and Water Show returned to the Chicago lakefront this weekend, and we captured photos of the August 17 action—both the sea of spectators and high-flying aerobatics. Missing this year was the precision demonstration squandron, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, flying just below the speed of sound (like the true badasses they are). But there was no lack of pulse-pounding stunts and no lack of this Kenny Loggins classic looping through our brain. Sadly, also no Val Kilmer playing volleyball on North Avenue Beach. Maybe next year.
