It was always so surreal for our family to attend the Chicago Air Show and watch the military jet fighters fly between the building knowing someday it could be for real.



I live in a bedroom community near Chicago. Woke early for a post surgical exam down town. I heard the news and watched the story unfold as the 2nd plane crashed. I cancelled my appointment and spent the day monitoring events. That day I was driving to run an errand and notice not a single plane in the sky, not a chem-trail, Nothing as all the planes had been grounded.

That night with our windows open normally you could hear the jets coming into midway and o'hare along with the occasional smaller planes. That night nothing. And then suddenly you would hear a pair of f-16 fighters making their turn to the north as they made their circle tour of the city all night long.
