First Annual Kabul Air Show Scheduled Kabul, Afghanistan
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 organizers
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 rumored that opening ceremonies
will feature a tomahawk- cruise fireworks display. A few 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.
