Update: Cancelled due to weather. More info as we get it.
From Facebook: “Well, we tried, but we never got the weather visibility we needed for the #ww2flyover so today’s flight is off. The weather was supposed to clear in time but it never cooperated with us so we will try again tomorrow at 11:30am EDT. Stay tuned for announcements in the morning. When we know, you’ll know! Keep your fingers crossed.”
From the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover:
“Approximately 65 World War II aircraft will take to the skies over Washington D.C. on September 25th. Starting at 11:30am ET, these historically sequenced warbird formations will fly over the Washington Mall in two minute intervals. The formations will represent the War’s major battles concluding with a missing man formation.”
Ed. Note: This event has been happening since at least 2015 and is definitely a sight to see.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m curious if anyone else is having issues with updating their voter registration in DC. My housemate and I moved to a different ward within DC at the end of August and have since been trying to update the address on our voter registration. We each sent back the infamous perforated mailers with our new address at the beginning of September and then both followed up by submitting an electronic address change form to the Board of Elections a little over a week ago, given neither of our addresses had been updated online (plus all the anxiety about the post office’s reliability). As of today though, it still hasn’t been updated. (more…)
