Bombers Bombed Out on Saturday

I've been writing about bombers a lot these past two weeks and this past Saturday was planning on seeing a B-24 Liberator and a B-17 Flying Fortress with a P-51C Mustang thrown in for good measure. They were at the Chicago Executive Airport near Wheeling, Illinois.

However, mother nature had other ideas. I didn't want to see the planes in the rain and it either drizzled or threatened a downpour all morning. Not to mention all the flooding from the largest one-day amount in Chicago's history. O'Hare recorded just shy of 7 inches Friday night-Saturday morning.

There were floods every where and one shopping center parking lot we visited resembled a lake.
