Military flyover this morning. Did Trump request it?

Military jets will be flying low (3,500 feet) over Palm Beach County this morning.

And the orange creature is at Mar-a-Lago.

Reports say that it's just a regularly scheduled training flight in line with practices that have been in place since 9/11. Oh. Okay. Strange, but I've been living in Palm Beach County for a while now and I don't ever recall hearing a gaggle of low flying military jets here.

Is it possible that this little display was requested by the White House?

Just asking. Given the leaks from this White House, we may find out if this was an expensive mini-parade in the sky just for him.

...which usually means he's in DC. Because of airspace closures, their information should be up to date.

He'll be in/near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia tomorrow, according to them.
