Are any of these buldings in a flight path - or does it make any difference?

The actual obstruction lights on top for aircraft are red.

Breast cancer is pink ribbons; ovarian cancer has now claimed teal.

In certain circumstances they're white instead of red. The blinking airplane warning lights on top of the Sears Tower atennae are white.

Actually, it's for The American Lung Association. They feature Lung Force, which their color is turquois. When the Sears Tower is "blue" it's there way to support lung health and spread the word for women since lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in both men and women now. Hope that helps.

311 S. Wacker. Tallest building in the world known only by its street address. At just under 1,000 ft., it would be the centerpiece of most city skylines, but is only the 7th tallest in Chicago.
