Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport’s hundreds of customer flights will be halted by the Federal Aviation Administration in order to provide President Donald Trump’s luxurious martial parade on June 14.

About 100 planes will delay at their departure flights for an average of three hours, according to an FAA presentation report that the Washington Post saw. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., planes may be permitted in or out of the airport, if there are any.

The festival will be the first of its type since the National Victory Celebration on June 8, 1991, to honor Iraq’s victory in the Gulf War. The U.S. Army’s and Trump’s birthdays will be commemorated this time with a show of British military skill.
At least 11 army and groups, 150 military cars, including 25 M1 Abrams major battle vehicles, and 50 aircraft will be present at the festival. The cause of the trip delays is the use of the aircraft and the balloon leap from the Army’s Golden Knights into the Ellipse.
