White House asked for Air Force Thunderbirds to do flyover at Army parade
The White House has made a last-minute request that the Air Force Thunderbirds fly over the Army's birthday parade on Saturday, according to a U.S. official.
The Army parade already includes flyovers of some 50 Army aircraft, including those used in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, along with dozens of Abrams tanks and other vehicles.

The event, which is intended to celebrate soldiers' contributions to America in the past 250 years, has grown considerably in size in recent months, with a parade added after President Donald Trump took office.
Trump shares a birthday with the Army and will turn 79 on Saturday.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
