While the upcoming solar eclipse will dominate Chicago's attention on Monday, there was another good reason to gaze at the sky this weekend as the Chicago Air and Water Show zoomed across the lakefront. On Saturday, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Army Golden Knights were among the airborne performers that dazzled crowds of onlookers gathered on the beach. The show continues on Sunday afternoon, but if you want a peek at the high-flying action, take a look at our photos from the first day of the Chicago Air and Water Show.
