it’s a bird, no it’s a plane!

My mother was serious. She swore what she saw were fighter planes hovering in the sky for more than one hour. Diving then going up again, almost beautiful but a little bit scary.

Fighter planes.

       The Middle East.

                 Iran.

If you put two and two together, it can be a scary thought. Isn’t it?

I never entertained the thought of war, no not this soon. And I don’t want to mention that word to my mother who has hypertension! So I told her maybe there’s an airshow, with hope that it would erase her fears.

This morning when I looked at the online news, I was right! There is an ongoing Dubai Airshow, dubbed to be the third largest in the world. The planes hovering in the skies, entertaining motorists stuck in traffic are part of the airshow!

I showed the news article to my mother and relieved her fears away. The airshow lasts until the 15th. I hope there won’t be any suspicious planes in the sky after that!

wow! airshow! I wish I could see one.
But to tell the truth, that would scare me especially if those jets are flying above my place! Nah, just ignore me. I’m just super-paranoid. :D

I love airshows, but I can certainly see why you’d be concerned if you didn’t know it was on!

shiera, you’re not paranoid, you’re just paying attention. If the planes are over Iran, the first thing people better do start for cover, then look for markings. Yikes!

I can very well understand her apprehensions. But glad it’s just an exhibit of sorts.
