Independence Day celebrations are set to kick off Friday at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial with a flyover by the United States Navy Blue Angels. However, the highlight of this year’s celebrations will be the salute to the Great Cities of the American Revolution.

The United States Air Force Thunderbirds will lead a series of flyovers beginning in Boston, proceeding to New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. From there they will join other Department of Defense and heritage aircraft in the Salute to America over our nation’s capital.

The aircraft are scheduled to overfly each of the cities, beginning at approximately 4:00 pm, then fly on to the next city. U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps jets will fly over in five waves. The flyovers will be led by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, followed by B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers, F-15 and F-22 fighters and U.S. Marine Corps F-35 fighters.
