Military jet flyovers are loud and are over very quickly. And on July 4, there will be many of them. The Trump administration has planned multiple flyovers.

According to People, 7 hours of military jet flyovers are planned for Independence Day.

“The flyovers will take place hourly from 1:15 p.m. to sunset during the Salute to America Celebration, which ends with 10:30 p.m. fireworks,” People reported.

According to a report by WUSA, the schedule has been released for the July 4 festivities, which will conclude with a presidential address, one that Trump has already stated will be a long one, with the subsequent fireworks taking place later at night than what is typical.

It’s also been shared by a WUSA reporter, which jets will be featured:

There had previously been a jet flyover at the White House UFC event last month:

“Featuring more than 150 exhibits from all 56 states and territories, businesses, innovators, and civic organizations, the Great American State Fair will showcase the very best of America through state pavilions, industry displays, family-friendly attractions, movie screenings, musical performances, military ensembles, spectacular flyovers, daily cultural programming, and an iconic Ferris wheel on the National Mall,” the Freedom 250 website says of the planned events.
