It was a flyover to demonstrate stealth F-35s for Trump and the President of Poland. Poland is buying some. I also wonder if the military planned the flyover to show Trump that the stealth fighters are not invisible, so that he stops saying that.

Thanks to all who emailed/messaged. Apparently I picked an inopportune time for a quick walkabout. All is well!!
BTW, this is the B variant of the F-35, which is particularly suited to make a loud noise over DC for a long time. That’s because it has a horizontal lift fan that allows it to land vertically, like a helicopter — or fly slowly and noisily over a city.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
