A once-in-a-generation aerial tribute will open the skies above the National Mall as the next generation of Air Force One leads a massive, never-before-seen formation honoring America’s 250th birthday. Featuring more than a dozen aircraft from multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, America’s Force 1 will unite presidential aviation, military airpower, and national symbolism in one breathtaking pass over Washington, D.C. The full formation will remain under wraps until show day, but its scale, precision, and meaning will make it one of the defining images of Salute to America 250.
