North AmericaPoliticsHigh confidence — 94/100
US President Donald Trump will head to Washington DC's National Mall on Saturday for what he has billed as a "spectacular rally" celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
The event, taking place as a sweltering heatwave grips swathes of the eastern and central US, will include flyovers by hundreds of aircraft and a fireworks display organisers hope will be the biggest of all time.
Military flyovers over Washington DC will happen every hour between 13:15 local time (17:15 GMT) and sunset, the organisers said, and Trump's new Air Force One will feature in one of the formations over the capital.
