Look To The Skies Because Exciting Airshow Returns To Illinois

Exciting airshow returns to Illinois so look to the skies.

Airshows Are Fun Family Events

I was a pretty lucky child. My parents worked during the week, so on the weekends they always made sure we attended fun events and family activities.

One of the things that really sticks out for me is going to airshows. I enjoyed those types of shows. They were very exciting.

Growing up it seemed like there were several scheduled in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin throughout the summer. Unfortunately, many of those went away.

One of my favorites that is still going on today is the Chicago Air and Water Show.

I wish that at some point Rockford Airfest would come back.
