Americans Cheer as B-2 Stealth Bomber, Fighter Aircraft Fly Over Great American State Fair in DC Amid 250 Celebrations (VIDEO) * The Gateway Pundit * by Cristina Laila
B-2 Bombers and other fighter aircraft flew over the Great American State Fair in DC on Friday.
“A world-class exposition and modern-day World’s Fair celebrating the people, traditions, innovations, and spirit that make America the greatest nation on Earth,” Freedom 250 said.
“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,” they said.
Americans cheered as NASA F-5s and a B-2 Spirit roared over the Great American State Fair.
US Air Force Thunderbirds flew in formation over the National Mall.
An F-35 Lightning also hovered over DC’s Tidal Basin in front of the Jefferson Memorial.
WATCH:
The National Mall closed early Friday afternoon shortly after the flyover due to heat related reasons.
Temperatures soared into the triple digits with the heat index reaching 108 degrees.
“The safety and well-being of our guests, volunteers, performers, vendors, and staff is our highest priority,” Freedom 250 said.
“Conditions are expected to improve later this afternoon, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at 5:00 p.m. as preparations continue for this evening’s festivities,” they said.

Everyone is being asked to go to the exits. It is miserably hot and humid today, genuinely feels like a sauna when you step outside. pic.twitter.com/bDbrwPHI44
