Not sure how much of an airshow you can have if nobody is allowed to fly.


Reminds me of Bush's appearance at Kitty Hawk; preventing anyone from
flying into Kitty Hawk. Ironic.

Just as well he didn't try himself. I hear they called him "The Seagull" in
the reserves because they had to throw rocks at him to get him to fly.

Real ironic considering his insistance we should not let fear keep us from
