Chicago’s Air and Water Show takes off tomorrow.

It features daredevil flying and military aircraft, including the Navy’s Blue Angels.

Major Jon Larsen is with the F-16 team that’s getting ready for this weekend’s show.

“It’s 15 minutes up close and personal and never leaves your sight,” Larsen says. “It’s gonna be right in front of you the entire time. It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s fun.”

This is the 48th year for the event.

The water show begins at 9:00 and the air show kicks off at 11:00 tomorrow morning at Chicago’s North Street Beach.
