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.
