White House planning F-35 flyover for Polish president on Wednesday

This may startle folks because DC's restricted airspace and planes don't fly over us. Heads up for rush hour fighter jets streaking toward the WH. They're definitely not carrying out the plot of Seven Days in May. Most definitely not. Well, probably not. I think I'll telecommute.

(CNN) -- The White House is planning a flyover of two F-35 fighter jets during Wednesday's visit from Polish President Andrzej Duda, according to three US government officials.

The flyover above the White House South Lawn comes as the two governments are preparing to announce an increase in the US troop presence in Poland. US officials on Tuesday previewed a "significant announcement" on US troop presence in Poland when Duda visits the White House.

Poland is also taking steps to purchase new F-35s from the United States, and the country's defense minister traveled to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida this week to see the jets in action.

Asked about the prospect of a flyover on Wednesday, a White House spokesman said there was "nothing to announce right now."

1. He is really trying to overcompensate again...

This is just pathetic showboating for another wannabe strongman/dictator.
Just how small IS POTUS 'member'?

As much as I loathe Trump and the disaster of his occupancy in the Oval Office, I take some solace in the fact that his life is a literal daily hell of dissatisfaction, envy and fear that people are making fun of him (guess what Donnie? we ARE!)...

3. Maybe this is Trump's "military parade" he's been touting?

Hopefully, the military is dragging its feet to keep from spending all that money to give him a high.

His ego is SO expensive.

A flyover of F-35 military planes will take place in the skies above the White House on Wednesday while the Polish president is in town.

President Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda to expect the flyover, noting that Poland had had ordered more than 30 of the planes.

The White House teased the flyover on its Twitter account, sharing an animated graphic that showed planes whizzing by an image of the building.

A flyover above the White House, which is restricted air space, is a rare event. The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment about how much advanced notice they were given about Wednesday's display.

Despite what the tweets say, there was just one. It came in from the northeast, over Union Station. It was loud. I hadn't seen WTOP's tweet until after the flyover. There was nothing about the flyover on the WTOP website.
