Kabul International Air Show...............
#1
Citizens of Afghanistan are reportedly looking forward with great
anticipation to reports of an international air show to be held in the
skies over their nation.
An unnamed official informed us that "Now the rest of the world will
look upon our beloved city with great honor just as they do Farnborough,
England and Paris, France", referring to the sites of two other famous
international air shows. The exact date and time of the upcoming Kabul
International Air Show has not yet been announced. It is believed that
event organisers feel that
such an announcement would detract from the fun of the celebration
by,"spoiling the surprise". Unlike most air shows the Kabul Air Show will
feature almost no static
ground displays but will have an unusually high number of aerial
demonstrations and fly-bys. "We are most pleased by this feature of our air
show. Instead of a lot of different kinds of airplanes just sitting around
on the tarmac, the aircraft attending our show will actually be up in the
air demonstrating what they do best!" we were told.
Participation will probably be heaviest by aircraft of the United States
Air Force and Marine Corps. Including appearances by F-15's, F-16's,
A-10's, B-52's and Apache helicopters. It is rumoured that opening
ceremonies will feature a Tomahawk cruise missile fireworks display. A few
B-1, B-2's,and F-117A's may also help out in some unseen capacity.
Several other counties have expressed an interest in sending
representatives. These include all nineteen nations in the NATO alliance as
well as Australia. The excitement generated for this gala event has even
prompted the Israeli Air Force to apply for participation. Of course, no
one is more excited than the Afghan people themselves. Great numbers of
them are in the streets of Kabul looking constantly heavenward in
gratitude for the historic event, which will soon take place in their
skies. It has been observed that some are so concerned about missing the
show
that even as they bow to the East they keep snatching worried glances
towards the West. Thousands, in fact, have been seen leaving the city and
fleeing
to the mountains carrying food and blankets - obviously anxious to get a
good vantage point for the air show, and to make a picnic of it.

Geocities hates me, I used a Geo's account once to make templates for danielmills.com and they banned me. They must be getting clever. B'ah.
That Angelfire account was easy to create though, and it works too, which is always a bonus. Hurrah!
