Report: Trump Will Get 20-Plane Flyover

He reportedly requested using tanks during the parade.

Donald Trump will receive a 20-plane flyover when he is inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States on Friday, the Pentagon told The Huffington Post. A source involved in the planning of the event told the website that Trump’s team suggested using tanks and missile launchers in the parade, “Red Square/North Korea-style.” The military reportedly rejected the request because the tanks would destroy the roads, and because the optics of such an event would be unfavorable. On Wednesday, Trump told The Washington Post that he wants to be a “great cheerleader for the country” by holding military parades down Pennsylvania Avenue.
