What to know if you're going to the Chicago Air and Water Show
Eyes will turn to the skies this weekend for the Chicago Air and Water Show. One million or more spectators are expected along the lakefront Aug. 16-17 to watch demonstrations by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team and a variety of other civilian and military aircraft. Here's what to know about this year's show: how to get to the lakefront (or avoid it), weather conditions, a full lineup of performers and more. No, the event is free. North Avenue Beach is show center, but good sight lines can be found at Ohio Street Beach and along the lakefront from Fullerton Avenue south to Oak Street Beach. Nearby parks and playing fields are generally less crowded. 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Rehearsal is scheduled for Friday. The beaches will open at 6 a.m., but there are no public seating areas and parking is not available at North Avenue Beach. The schedule is subject to change and determined on show days. The lineup includes: U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds: Founded 72 years ago, the demonstration team has performed here since 1960. More than 120 enlisted members prepare and service eight F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. Six perform formation flying and solo routines during a typical demonstration. U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights: Appearing here since the 1960s — when they would land in Lake Michigan — this team of soldiers has jumped with David Ross, former Cubs catcher and manager, actor Vince Vaughn and comedian Bill Murray.

‘Deadliest Catch' star Sig Hansen confronts mortality after life-threatening health scares at sea
"Deadliest Catch" Captain Sig Hansen isn't afraid of the sea, but he's no longer pretending he's invincible. After decades of battling brutal conditions in the Bering Sea, Hansen, 59, is now facing something even more formidable than icy waves — his own mortality. The veteran fisherman, known for his grit and leadership aboard the F/V Northwestern, told Fox News Digital that a string of personal health scares at sea has fundamentally changed the way he views both fishing and family. "Honestly, with family, it actually opened my eyes," Hansen candidly said. "I mean, I want to spend more time with them, and it's like you do have more of an appreciation… you do see things differently with age and all that." "Honestly, with family, it actually opened my eyes. I mean, I want to spend more time with them, and it's like you do have more of an appreciation… you do see things differently with age and all that." As for his mortality, the sea captain said the clock's ticking, and he wants to be a better father, grandfather and husband to his family. Hansen — who's spoken in the past about surviving a heart attack and enduring medical setbacks while at sea — said the close calls have made him want to become a better man, especially at home. WATCH: 'DEADLIEST CATCH' STAR REFLECTS ON AGING, FAMILY AND FEAR AT SEA "If you're a terrible father, you want to be a better father," he reflected. "And then if you can't be a better father, then now you're a good grandfather. So, you're trying to make up for all this lost time." But when it comes to deep-sea fishing — the career that made him famous — Hansen admitted the fear has deepened. "I'm much more fearful," he confessed. "You do have the Coast Guard — and they're just amazing… guys and gals out there that are out looking over everybody, but at the end of the day… there's no doctor. It's scary." He recalled one terrifying moment that nearly cost him his life — not on deck, but shortly after returning from sea. WATCH: 'DEADLIEST CATCH' STAR SIG HANSEN REVEALS HIS BIGGEST REGRETS, MISTAKES FROM DANGEROUS CAREER "I was going to take the boat to Seattle… it's about a seven-day trip," Hansen recalled. But his brother offered to handle the voyage, so Hansen could fly home early — a decision that may have saved his life. Before leaving, Hansen took a hard fall on the ice and hit his nose. He brushed it off and flew home. He waited a day in Dutch Harbor before continuing his journey. But once he got back, Hansen explained how things took a scary turn. "I woke up and… I had an infection and my face looked just like it was swollen," he said. "It was like a golf ball out of my nostril." An alarmed Hansen shouted to his wife, "Did you poison me?" She replied, "No, we got to get you to the hospital." WATCH: 'DEADLIEST CATCH' STAR SIG HANSEN SHARES THE DANGERS HE'S FACED AT SEA THIS SEASON Doctors didn't waste time. He was injected with antibiotics immediately. "She said basically, you know, another few hours, you'd be gone." As Hansen looked back, he was certain of one thing: If he'd been at sea when the infection hit, the results could've been fatal. "Had I been on that boat, I don't think the Coast Guard would have been there soon enough… That's all it would've took. One little slip in the ice — and then you got the infection — and that's how quick things can happen." The Norwegian American has weathered countless storms and personal health scares during his time on "Deadliest Catch," including a heart attack in 2016. While Hansen isn't quite ready to hang up his captain's hat, he explained that his priorities may have shifted, as the call of home is growing louder than the call of the sea. Since he suffered a heart attack on the job, he's been more cautious and more aware of what's at stake, as he told Fox News Digital what retirement may look like for him in the future. "I've been thinking about it ever since… more fearful when you put pots on the boat, more fearful for everybody else," he said. "And then you start thinking, 'My wife has spent decades waiting for me. Why not… give the last whatever I got to her?' That's what I'm doing." The veteran sea captain has been married to his wife June for more than 20 years. Throughout their decades-long marriage, Sig adopted June's two daughters — Mandy and Nina Hansen. Fans of "Deadliest Catch" would recognize Mandy, who's stepped into the spotlight alongside her father aboard the F/V Northwestern. She welcomed a daughter named Sailor Marie in November 2021 with her husband, Clark Pederson. In addition to their blended family, Sig also has a biological daughter, Melissa, from a previous marriage that ended in divorce. "Deadliest Catch" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on Discovery Channel.

I built a media business after starring on '16 & Pregnant.' But I'm still afraid that I could lose my financial success in an instant.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Kailyn Lowry, founder of the KILLR Podcast Network. It has been edited for length and clarity. I grew up poor. It was normal not to know where my next meal was coming from or where I was sleeping that night. I'm 33 now, but that early poverty still impacts me. I've made plenty of money since, but I'm still afraid that I could lose everything I've built in an instant. I first made significant money on " 16 & Pregnant" and later on "Teen Mom." Still, there was uncertainty. Everyone — the stars of the show and the crew — knew that each season could be our last. I had no financial literacy, so when I received a large lump sum of money, I wouldn't put money aside for taxes. I'd spent one season's earnings playing catch-up, paying the taxes on my previous season's pay. The financial uncertainty — and stress from taxes — was really difficult for me. I found a financial advisor, but meeting them stresses me out My best friend helped me find an accountant, and that person set me up with a financial advisor. That advisor helped me build my financial literacy. Still, I hate those meetings, even to this day. It's triggering to me because of my childhood poverty. Looking at my income, spending, and how much money I do or don't have makes me feel ill. I'm really, really afraid of those numbers. I've never talked about that fear of financial instability in therapy. Maybe I should, but I've had so many traumas in my life that we haven't addressed that yet. I worry podcasting could disappear I knew that my shows with MTV wouldn't last forever, so I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and make this opportunity into something sustainable. That's where podcasting came in, first with my podcast, "Barely Famous," and now with my podcast company. Podcasting has given me the ability to step outside the MTV realm, but it doesn't really give me a sense of security. Podcasting is so new— what if it disappears as quickly as it came? What comes after podcasting, and what if no one cares what I have to say? Imposter syndrome is something I face all the time. Every single day I look at my life and think do I deserve this? Do I have the right to do this? I still feel unworthy of my achievements and successes. I get backlash for having a nanny now When Elliot, my oldest (who used to go by Isaac), was born and I was 17, I couldn't dream of having a nanny. Today, I have a full-time nanny who works at my home Monday through Friday. It's such a luxury. Money has provided me with this option, which means I can be more present when I'm with the kids. I've received a lot of backlash about having a nanny. Many people don't realize that with three kids under two, a nanny is probably cheaper than day care. They also don't realize my business is a career; they think podcasting is a joke. I want my kids to know that entrepreneurship isn't a get-rich-quick path. In fact, sometimes, it means working harder than you would at a traditional job. I make sure that the kids know I work, even if it's not as clear to them as their friends' parents who go to a traditional job. I hope they see my hard work and don't just think I'm living off reality TV money. I teach my kids to save for the future I attribute a lot of my success to my resilience. I've had to build something out of pure survival. My kids don't have the same trauma or struggles as me. I'm glad for that, but I wonder about how I can give them the life I never had and still create a sense of drive. You can't teach someone a business mindset. Elliot has grown up in the public eye alongside me. Because of that, he's able to make money on social media. I've taught him to save a certain amount for taxes and put more in a regular savings account. I encourage him to save by telling him that future income isn't guaranteed. He could lose it all — something he learned when he lost access to his first TikTok account, which had nearly 1 million followers. I want to show him responsibility without making his life hard. That's difficult, and we're working on it every single day.
