Travelers hoping to fly into Washington for the America250 celebrations may face serious delays thanks to Trump’s planned airshow and rehearsals.

The Federal Aviation Administration has warned that delays of more than an hour could occur at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Thursday because of military air traffic over and near the National Mall.

The warning, in effect between 10:45 a.m. and 2 p.m., is due to “air show” activity over Washington, with an average flight delay of 24 minutes expected.

Other warnings are expected to be posted in the days leading up to the Fourth of July.
