The very same aging announcer set up and spoke into the mic, broadcasting his voice in a rumbling yet somewhat excited voice.
“Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first ever International Airshow hosted at Cape Kimberly! All Rhodesialundians please stand for the national anthem!”
Every citizen of the nation stood and faced to a single lone flag that was raised. At the stands were a group of men in their 90’s, stuck in wheelchairs. They took off their hats of proud service and looked at the flag, remembering the blood, sweat, and tears that had been shed in the ideas of which the flag has stood for.
The anthem continued for a minute before finally ending and then a huge fleet of F-14F Super Tomcats flew overhead. The roar of the engines drowning out the sounds of applause as they pass over.

“And let the show begin!” shouted the announcer over the speakers.
Each respective airplanes followed by an assigned narrator did their performance in front of the crowds of people with popular songs playing over the speakers. First came the warbirds, old planes privately owned that saw past service in the wars across Urth. Many of them being propeller planes and early jets.
The next was a showing of the Rhodesialund’s Air Force. A single F/A-22 Raptor and A-10 Warthog flew alongside it’s ancestors, the P-51D Mustang and the F-4E Phatom.

The next showings were of technology demonstrators and civilian airliners trying to show off their new planes. A few hours later of constant entertainment and then when the showing of the nation’s strategic air lifter ending with it landing, the announcer spoke through the mic once more .

“I am handing off the mic to a new announcer, one whose voice you will recognize.” He chuckles and gets off.
“Goooooood dayyyyy everyoneee!” The all too familar voice sounded through the speakers as a series of blue and gold painted airplanes begin taxing their way to the runway. The cheers and screams of the people begin to grow as they recognized what was going on.
“This is Mike Trenton of the Blue Vixens! With such a major air show here in this great nation, we felt that it wouldn’t be complete without us!”

Mike Trenton announced for a short while, keeping the crowds entertained as the Blue Vixen F-14F Super Tomcats begun their takeoff prep, spooling up the engines and the throaty roar begun to fill the air. “Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you! The Blue Vixens!!!” He exclaimed loudly through the speakers, then the sounds of one of the most popular songs in the region played through the speakers, just loud enough to mingle with the sounds of the engines.
The sounds of the engines roaring only grew when the pilots of the highly selective and trained squadron punched the throttle and screamed down the runway, taking off in a 90* angle when they gained enough speed and climbed to an altitude of 1,000 ft before leveling off.
“That ladies and gentlemen, was a straight up climb to 1,000 feet thanks to the upgraded Pittney engines putting out at an impressive dry thrust of 26,000 lbs! Nearly double that of the engine power of the F-14D, the previous iteration of the great Tomcat legacy! With this amount of Raw power, this plane can supercruise! Or break the sound barrier without the use of afterburner!”
In perfect timing, a single Blue Vixen passes overhead the crowds, breaking the sound barrier with ease and showing the all too classic trail of vapors around the plane.

The lyrics of the famous pop song played as the engine noise lowered, “… you want it, I know you want it, Your a goood Girrrlllll!!!” The catchy beat playing. The professional aerobatics team continued their demonstration with various moves.

The Diamond 360, Opposing Knife-edge pass, Diamond Roll, Opposing inverted to inverted rolls, diamond aileron roll, fortus, diamond dirty loop, minimum radius turn, double farvel, opposing minimum radius turn, sneak pass, and finally, a delta formation over the crowds before finally flying off into the beautiful horizon. Going elsewhere for more airshows and to keep up a positive image of the nation’s navy.
