A NASA F-15 aircraft flies above Washington on Saturday, July 4, 2026, as part of a flyover to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday. This aircraft is from NASA\u2019s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, and it joined other NASA aircraft for the flyover.<\/div>\n

In honor of America\u2019s 250th birthday, two of NASA\u2019s most iconic aircraft got a fresh coat of red, white, and blue paint ahead of a flyover in Washington on July 4, 2026, with other NASA aircraft. \u00a0<\/p>\n

An F-15 and an F\/A-18<\/a> from NASA\u2019s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, recently were repainted in patriotic colors as a tribute to the past and a salute to the future.<\/p>\n

The red, white, and blue commemorative paint and Freedom 250 logo will remain on these aircraft for at least the next year, so be sure to catch these at local air shows and events.<\/p>\n
