Yes, Jstar's schedule posted above is for flyovers of the National Mall in Washington DC tomorrow, which is Independence Day/the Semiquincentennial. The Blue Angels and others are due to fly above the parade of tall ships in New York Harbor tomorrow morning, so that flight team will have a busy day.
 
B-2 isn't explicitly mentioned in the lineup in post 1, but the silhouettes of two are shown in post 5 - can anyone deconflict?
 
The official schedule is correct, and the twitter rando is making stuff up

I'm not on twitter, so I wasn't aware of the provenance of the bogus(?) illustration, but I guess these days I should not trust any online source.

"Stealth Airpower" and "Tri-Bomber Formation" should involve the B-2.

The twitter post about some formation is nonsense though, especially as the "mystery" aircraft is the very secretive F-35 (over 1000 jets produced).

In New York this morning, some Eurofighter Typhoons participated in the flyover above the Hudson River. (I counted four, but the first pair might have done a circuit and come around again.) They were in dark gray with low-visibility markings, so I couldn't see which particular air force the Typhoons were from. In any case, welcome visitors.

Perhaps the Typhoon is the 'mystery guest plane' that some had been promising.

In New York this morning, a B-52H, B-2, and B-1B in formation flew above me, so I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same over Washington DC this afternoon.

Don't forget that you also caught the F-47 with the promised "gullwings" underneath the B-52H ;)

Here’s the full list of aircraft in today’s NYC flyover. The second pair were Spanish Typhoons flying in formation with a pair of Spanish EF-18s. Doesn’t say what the first pair were.

My dearest EmoBirb, I realize that members of your particular interest group/online tribe may not always be firing on all cylinders, as they say, but can you please clearly resolve the discrepancy I outlined above???

I'll ignore the rude remarks and just reiterate

So you were, for whatever reason, confused that the B-2 isn't mentioned by name in the line-up. I in turn pointed out that the stealth airpower display and the tri-bomber formation imply B-2 participation by default, context clue, empirical evidence.

Then you talk about post 5 which showed a bunch of random silhouettes and was clearly bullshit (not even able to identify a low res/blurry F-35 outline), that this is at odds with the stated line-up. I explained that the post on twitter was pure nonsense, thus shouldn't be regarded with any thought, it was obvious bullshit. Thus there was nothing to "deconflict", because it was so obviously fake that it shouldn't be paid attention to.

Is it now clear to you?
