I believe MANY Muslims, at least dozens, probabably hundreds and possibly thousands, knew about this attack before the fact.
About 10 p.m. the Fri. eve. before teh attacks I walked past some Muslims/Palesinians
("Free Palestine"bumper stickers on car) in Alexandria, VA.,
on King Street between the Metro & Downtown Alexandria, near the Pentagon & Dulles Airport,
& I had the most eerie and extraordinary feeling that they knew SOMETHING BIG and scary was up!
Theyy seemed uncomfortable adn edgy and I couldn't pinpoint what waas up...until later, much later.
Just a hypothesis...

Of course they knew. They had the calendar.

The Egypt Air crash occurred October 31 1999. Can anyone absolutely confirm that the calendar page shown is the one from September?

yOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT.
iT WAS JUST A HYPOTHEISIS, BASED UPON A DISTINCT, BUT EERIE, FEELING THAT something was afoot.

I remember reading that when Khomeni returned to power in Iran after the Shah was ousted he forbade electrical imports from the West--except for 2 things--small mechanical saws and some other item I forget--the saws were for amputating the hands of thieves--nice guys!!! And they force the villagers to watch the punishment in the public square--no wonder the children grow up so filled with anger and hatred--they are mentally and emotionally abused from early childhood by their own governments.

The Egyptians used mainly ground forces during their initial attack, but there was air support (I don't think they were helicopters). The main reason they had their ass handed to them in such short order was that they over extended their ground forces and left behind crucial air cover and anti aircraft support. The Israelis moved in and conducted air operations with success not seen again until the Gulf war's "highway of death".
The renditions of this national symbol of Egyptian pride are very often over exagerated in the projected strength and success (because most of the people that were there died) of the operation. They will include things they wish they had done as well as things they may be able to do now.
Of course I have never seen this particular rendition, but I spent 5 months training Egyptian soldiers 5 years ago and there are pictures of this "great event" everywhere in military buildings.
Let me research some more and see what I can dig up.

Upon further reveiw of the picture I can see that it is a montage of Egyptian events.
The flag held in one hand and the Soldiers crossing the berm are definitely renditions of the Egytian invasion and battle with Israel. Both of these are common to all renditions of the event and are included in most, thats why I assumed that the entire portrait was about that.
The tracked vehicles located to the bottom right are M-2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, US army equipment and have to signify the Egyptian partnership with the US led coalition during the Gulf War.
The helicopters and ballons are still a mystery to me though. I am researching Egyptian aviation now to see if these are significant to the Egyptian military history.

I've been ballooning since 1991. Thanks for that. At least I know the information is in the right hands. You have the knowledge and background to evaluate this information better than most.

If not, somebody show me where I'm wrong.
Don't hold your breath.

New info: Many foreign balloonists are pulling out of the rally. Freight on balloons has gone up triplefold.
Don't worry about the spelling, I've seen balloon spelled incorrectly at balloon rallies.
I have also contacted the BFA- Balloon Federation of America.
