Details on DC Flyovers Scheduled for July 4th Celebrations

Reagan National Airport will be closed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday for rehearsals related to the America 250 celebrations, which may result in low-flying military aircraft being visible and audible in the D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria areas. The 'Wings of Freedom' demonstrations over the National Mall will include parachute teams, helicopters, and various military aircraft such as the U.S. Marine Corps’ MV-22 Osprey and F-35B, the Navy’s F-18F and F-35C, and the Air Force’s F-22 Raptor, among others. On Saturday, the FAA will close the airport from noon to midnight for the full celebration, with all arrivals and departures scheduled to conclude before noon. Flyovers and demonstrations will occur throughout the afternoon and evening, featuring Air Force One, the Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, and B-2 stealth bombers. Specific timings for the events include an Air Force One flyover at 7:03 p.m. and a Thunderbirds demonstration starting at 6:25 p.m. A detailed schedule of flyovers and demonstrations for both days has been provided.
