A great honor.
The brave B-2 bomber pilots who flew across the world to obliterate Iran’s nuclear facilities will be guests of President Trump at the White House Fourth of July celebration.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a statement that the president “looks forward to celebrating our nation’s founding on Friday in the nation’s capital.”
“To join in the celebration, the might of America’s Air Force will conduct a flyover featuring our state-of-the-art F-22s, B-2s, and F-35s – the same air capabilities used for the decisive and successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities,” Leavitt added.
During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo discussed the “courageous” pilots with Trump, and asked the president if he planned to honor them.
“Yes, they’re going to come to the White House,” Trump said. “But what you said is right. These people flew 36 hours in a small space, a big plane, but a small spaces mostly occupied by bombs, and they flew so brilliantly.”
“They hit a target the size of this circle … a little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door from 50,000 feet up in the air,” he added. “Going at a rapid speed, because they’re going very fast when they’re over a pretty rough territory. And they hit it every single time. And then they knocked out two other sites aside from that.”
