It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No, it's the specially-rigged chopper that was most recently used in Chicago for the feature film "Batman."
It's in Downtown Milwaukee today and will be used to shoot establishing shots of the city for the new NBC pilot, "Backyards and Bullets"/"The Watch" (working titles).
Rumor is that the opening sequence of the pilot will include shots of Milwaukee's Lakefront, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Wisconsin Avenue and possibly some surburban scenes, too.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
