President Donald Trump invited the pilots who flew in the mission to bomb Iranian nuclear sites to visit the White House on July 4, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
The pilots, who flew B-2 stealth bombers in Operation Midnight Hammer, are invited to join Independence Day festivities, Leavitt said.
The Air Force is also expected to hold military flyovers in D.C. on the Fourth of July.
“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 said in a statement.
The B-2 bombers are the only aircraft capable of carrying the 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs that Trump said were used to strike the Fordo nuclear enrichment facility.
