They must have been higher than they looked - which looked to be lower than the top of the building - but it was really something to see. And hear.

Yeah...I used to be in a high rise office kiddie-corner from East Bank Club & across the river from The Merchadise Mart. Not exactly The Loop, but pretty close. We had a balcony on the main office & would stand out there & watch the jets practicing. It was awesome! Tough to get any work done on those days! It's also really cool if you live in a building w/ roof access during that weekend. My buddies & I used to make a day outta it...just partying & watchin' the Air Show from on top the roofs. Always a good time!
Actually, the jets would fly pretty low...right thru the city! Lower than the skyscrapers at least.
Are ya still in Chicago, Terebabes?
How about you, Puremeds? Where you at in the ciity?
I'm in West Town (Division/Milwaukee area)...what we like to call East Wicker Park! Makes it sound like a better neighborhood than it really is.
