[FoxNews] Landmark celebration honoring Army to include aircraft flyovers, fireworks that will impact flight operations

President Donald Trump will be hosting a military parade next Saturday honoring military veterans and active-duty service members to commemorate the U.S. Army’s birthday.

The parade is scheduled for June 14, the 250th birthday of the United States Army, Flag Day, and Trump’s birthday.

Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) announced the airport is expected to halt flights during the parade.

"To accommodate aircraft flyovers along the parade route, followed by a fireworks display, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to suspend airline operations at DCA – affecting scheduled flights," reads an airport press release.

The airport cautions that "customers with flight reservations for the evening of June 14 should check the status of their flights directly with their airline."
