We've had lots of fog the past several days here in NW Indiana/Chicago. I
think we also had rain last night. Certainly looked like it was coming by
the time we went to bed. This morning is also extremely foggy. From what I
heard on the radio this morning, they had to cancel the air portion of the
second day of the Chicago Air & Water show because of the fog. The planes
stage at the airport in Gary, IN and then fly in over the lake, do tricks,
and fly out over downtown Chicago and loop around back out over the lake.
Fog was so thick that they had problems getting the planes off of the
ground in Gary, and when part of your flight path includes low-level passes
over a major city, and you can't actually see the buildings that you're
supposed to miss, it's not a recommended practice.
