Twenty military aircraft, including an F-35, are scheduled to fly over Trump’s inaugural parade Friday afternoon, according to a Defense Department spokesman.
The aircraft will represent all four Defense Department branches, as well as the Coast Guard, Army Maj. Jamie Davis said in a statement.
The Air Force will fly an F-15E Strike Eagle, an F-22 Raptor, an F-16 Fighting Falcon and an F-35 Lightning II, which President Trump has criticized for its cost on Twitter.
The Navy will fly four F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets. The Army will fly four UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
The Marine Corps will fly four V-22 Osprey tilt-rotors. The Coast Guard will fly four MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopters.
The flyover is scheduled to occur around 4 p.m., but poor weather could cancel the show, Davis said. The aircraft are expected to fly when their corresponding service marches in the parade.
