As I write, I can hear the planes over Chicago practicing for the Air & Water Show this weekend.
While I’m not able to see anything from my window, I do have pictures that we took from the show two years ago. I can definitely identify one of these, maybe two.
Can’t quite tell what the first ones are. They look like F6Fs or maybe P-47s.
F/A-18F Super Hornet
B-2 “Spirit” Stealth Bomber
F-22 Raptor.
I knew the B2, of course.
And my guess was going to be the F22, but I couldn’t quite remember from the pictures. I do remember how cool the F22 was, flying straight up, hovering and doing a flip mid-air. Makes you do a double-take, because it doesn’t act like your brain tells you an airplane should act.
