[Mkguild] Clarification Re: Fireworks and their alternatives

[Joshua Coene]

I just got the most awesome image of aerial flag-tag ever.  That sounds like
a lot of fun, and would make it as much a contest between the participants
as a display and lightshow for the audience below.

I'm suddenly seeing this adapted to be a training exercise for flyers as
well, with military applications.  Train up aerial speed, agility,
awareness...nice.

Honestly, I'm not dead!
