That seems like a lot of planes in a small area, one right after the other. And TrumpCo has a poor track record for coordinating things.

And, thinking of all that fuel exhaust over the Mall on a 100 degree day, followed by the fireworks later that night.... seems like it's going to be difficult for people to breathe. Especially older people, children, and people with COPD, asthma, etc. Which overlaps quite a bit with MAGA attendee demographics.

They'll keel over and turn purple before they let a mask touch their faces.

7. It's an insanely large amount to be on 5 to 10 min intervals for 7 phreaking hours, much of it formation flying

which is inherently dangerous on its own. I honestly can't believe this. People won't be able to talk or hear anything. Id leave because I'd get sick of it and I'm an aviation nut!
