Thanks to all who noted that this weekend is the Airforce’s 75th anniversary.

At 6:45pm last night we told folks that “The US Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) Aerial Control Team (ACT) will control a flyover in the National Capital Region at Audi Field”

It was pretty awesome. More photos below and thanks to Laura for sending this gorgeous video last night: “Wanted to pass along a pretty cool video I got of the Thunderbirds tonight from Navy Yard!” (more…)

Kelly asked: “Multiple commercial planes flying over rock creek park. Isn’t that restricted air space? Is there a re-routing plan when there are storms? Seems odd.”

Thanks to Justin for sending last night: “Planes are flying over DC! They must have emergency clearance b/c of the thunderstorms up north. Fist time I’ve seen this! One basically flew over Calvert Woodley. Crazy.”
