Our Favorite Sights From The Glorious & Noisy 59th Annual Air & Water Show

Chicago's annual spectacle of mind-blowing jet formations and patriotic pride (and/or noisy reminder of the U.S.'s military might, depending on how you look at it) is speeding through Chicago this weekend.

Our photographer braved the crowded beaches Saturday to capture some of the coolest dives and flyovers, including the ever-popular Blue Angels, a team of U.S. Navy jet pilots, and the basically-perfect weather conditions. If you missed it, you've still got some time yet today to catch the show.
