Sounds like my office is getting bombed.

CRAP

yeah they keep flying over my pad too, I'm gonna go out there and see if I can hit me a blue angel with a rock in a minute

It scares me.

hench, two years ago wrote:fucking crap. no waffles.

it's absolutely retarded to have those dudes flying that low & that fast over chicago. or any major metropolis. no matter how skilled the pilots are, mistakes happen.

i don't want a mistake in my city.

not to mention that i work 3 blocks from the sears tower & it scares the 9/11 out of me whenever the planes swoop through.

not to mention that the lakefront bike path is crowded enough on the weekend without 2,000,000 fucking chumpy cats hanging out.



i would have absolutely no problem with this air show were it held in the middle of nowhere.

all still true, except now i work about 3 miles south of the sears tower. still gives me the damn willies....

I love the air show.

The lower they fly, the better.

The looser my fillings get from the after-burners, the better.

Fly so low the pilot could take my brat out of my bun, I say.

Between the buildings, up the river, around the Sears Tower, 400 feet over my back deck, setting off car alarms, etc... Give me all of that and more.

The F-22 Raptor will be making a rare appearance this year. I can't wait to see this stunning example of engineering brilliance in person.

Bring the kids. Leave your trepidations at home. Even though two of the Thunderbird pilots are women, and they may leave their blinkers on for the entire show, they won't be crashing into any buildings.

The air and water show as a whole: crap.

The F16's on the other hand I find amazing.

the planes are interesting. the airshow is cock-waving jingoistic bullshit. I'm already tired of peeling my cat off the ceiling. maybe I'll get kebabs tonight and pretend I'm in Afghanistan

I was in France this year for the 4th. the 14th there is pretty much the same, but drunker & without the handguns. also it's about beheading the ruling class, gotta love that

apart from the flags & eagles & crap I like the 4th of July because it's regular citizens making noise, and I like to blow shit up

The same urbane urbanites who cluck their tongues at the NASCAR-lovin' tourists who crane their necks to take in the skyscrapers are the same ones who get batshit overjoyed at seeing airplanes - in a city that has one of the busiest airports in the country. Retards.

Air show? Buzz-cut Alabamians spewing colored smoke from their whiz jets to the strains of "Rock You Like A Hurricane?" What kind of countrified rube is still impressed by that?
