Reagan National Airport to halt flights for Trump-hosted military parade next week
President Donald Trump will be hosting a military parade next Saturday honoring military veterans and active-duty service members to commemorate the U.S. Army's birthday.
The parade is scheduled for June 14, the 250th birthday of the United States Army, Flag Day, and Trump's birthday.
Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) announced the airport is expected to halt flights during the parade.
"To accommodate aircraft flyovers along the parade route, followed by a fireworks display, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to suspend airline operations at DCA – affecting scheduled flights," reads an airport press release.
The airport cautions that "customers with flight reservations for the evening of June 14 should check the status of their flights directly with their airline."
An FAA spokesperson told Fox News Digital the agency is working with the Department of Defense to finalize a flyover plan detailing the number and types of aircraft involved.
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for the Washington, D.C., area will be issued in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security "to ensure safety and security during the celebration."
Fox News Digital is told the restrictions will expand the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area Special Flight Rules Area (DC SFRA) and the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone (DC FRZ).
"The FAA will implement traffic management initiatives (TMI) at DCA before, during, and after the event to ensure safety and will facilitate a return to normal operations once the event concludes. During the peak of the celebration, the TMI stops all arrivals and departures," said the FAA spokesperson.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at 9:30 p.m.
Flight passengers are advised to use the D.C. Metrorail to reach the airport and can expect roadway closures off-airport to increase the travel time.
There will be "no fireworks viewing" due to construction and event parking is strongly discouraged, says the DCA release.
"Expect delays from road closures and increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area," it states.
The landmark event will take place on Constitution Ave NW between 15th Street and 23rd Street.
At the event, there will be historical U.S. Army personnel re-enactors, period-accurate equipment, vehicles, flyovers and military bands, according to America250.
"The event is designed not only to showcase the Army's modern capabilities but also to inspire a new generation to embrace the spirit of service, resilience, and leadership that defines the United States," the America250 site says.

TSA tells Americans their Costco cards won't fly at airport security despite love for hot dogs
The Transportation Security Administration clarified this week that a Costco membership card is not sufficient to present at airport security. "We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not," the TSA wrote on Facebook Wednesday. The reminder comes less than a month after the U.S. began requiring a REAL ID driver's license when flying domestically May 7. Aside from REAL IDs, which have enhanced federal standards, domestic flyers can also use their passports or another federally-approved form of identification like Defense Department-issued IDs (but not a Costco card). "Department of Defense IDs for active and retired military continue to be an acceptable form of ID at TSA checkpoints following the implementation of REAL ID last month," the TSA wrote on Facebook Thursday. REAL IDs were available for years before the requirement went into effect after a 2005 law passed based on recommendations from the 9/11 Commission report. With many procrastinating until shortly before the deadline, DMV centers were inundated with long lines in April and early May, and there was confusion about what forms of identification, such as a passport, birth certificate or Social Security card, were acceptable at a DMV to secure a REAL ID.

Stock Market News for Jun 5, 2025
U.S. stocks ended mostly lower on Wednesday after data showed private sector payrolls hit a two-year low, suggesting that a lack of clarity over President Donald Trump's trade policies could weigh on the nation's economy. The S&P ended nearly flat, while the Dow slipped. However, the Nasdaq ended in positive territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) slid 0.2% or 91.90 points, to close at 42,427.74 points. The S&P 500 added 0.01% or 0.44 points to finish at 5,970.81 points. Utilities and energy stocks were the worst performers. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) fell 1.8%, while the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) declined 2%. The Financials Select Sector SPDR (XLF) lost 0.6%. Six of the 11 sectors of the benchmark index ended in positive territory. The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.3%, or 61.53 points, to end at 19,460.49 points. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was down 0.45% to 17.61. Advancers outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 1.3-to-1 ratio. On Nasdaq, a 1.18-to-1 ratio favored advancing issues. A total of 14.5 billion shares were traded on Wednesday, lower than the last 20-session average of 17.8 billion. The Dow snapped its four-day winning streak, while the S&P 500 struggled on Wednesday as disappointing jobs data raised concerns over the economy's health. According to a report from payrolls processing company Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), the economy added only 37,000 private jobs in May, less than the downwardly revised 60,000 jobs in April and sharply lower than the consensus estimate of 110,000. Trump slammed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell moments after the figures were out, saying, 'Too Late, Powell,' as he called for immediate interest rate cuts. Investors also focused on trade negotiations between the United States and its trading partners. Trump and the Chinese President are scheduled to talk sometime this week as tensions cease to ease between the world's two biggest economies. The lack of clarity over Trump's upcoming tariff policies has raised concerns among investors. Stocks have rebounded over the past month, and investors are still confident that there will be a positive outcome from the ongoing trade negotiations between the United States and its trading partners.
