I just read that Bill Murray is planning on parachuting out of a plane as a part of the Chicago Air and Water show in a few weeks on August 15th. No matter how many awards, scandals or movies Bill Murray is a part of Chicago will always love him. (much like our love of Mike Ditka, Jim Belushi and the Cusaks never dies either) Some things are just too Chicago to not love. Well apparently the point of this stunt (this is real stunt work remember) is to bring attention to the Illinois USO, the work they do here and all over the world supporting the troops and the support they need to contiue their work. So it is for a really good cause. The jump out of a plane for the Chicago Air and Water show will be a tandem jump with a parachute team called the Golden Knights. So, if you are watching the Air and Water show this year from the ground or one of the high rises, look for Bill Murray strapped to another parachuter in formation over the lake. Let’s be thankful this isn’t scheduled for Groundhog day.
