UPDATED at 10:37 a.m. 9/25/202: The Arsenal of Democracy Flyover scheduled for Friday morning over the National Mall has been canceled.

“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,” a message on the group’s Facebook said.

Seventy-fifth anniversary of the end of WWII flight of WWII warbirds over DC canceled due to low ceiling here.

Too bad. Could have been viewed on the web. Maybe will be done this weekend when the weather improves.

There was a very destructive B-25 "Mitchell" crash just last week.

Crew walked/limped away but these War Birds need a lot of TLC to remain flying.

We drove to Roosevelt Island earlier to walk around beforehand. At least we had a nice walk.

Weather and flying...a love/hate relationship.

I remember it being a decent movie.

It was a late night rerun on a long ago independent station.

I miss them.

Is that what I saw yesterday over Round Hill, Va? Looks like they were practicing. Old planes in formations, cool sight.

Haha, me, too. I parked on Ohio Dr by the river and ended up going for a nice walk with the dogs around the Mall. Will try again tomorrow!

Probably. The FAA did a practice for the staging area on Thursday.
