In honor of the 70th Anniversary of VE-Day today, there will be a 50-plane flyover of the Nation’s capitol by WWII-era military aircraft that range from B17s to P-40E War Hawks to TBF Avengers and C-53 transports.

The flyover – scheduled to begin at 12:10 p.m. ET – is open to anyone who can get to a viewing spot as the planes head down the Potomac River, turn inland at the Lincoln Memorial, and fly past the WWII Memorial (where 500 World War vets will be on hand), Washington Monument, White House and Jefferson Memorial. Planes will fly to the U.S. Capitol before heading back toward the river.

So if you are in DC today, look up at lunch time, it will be a sight you unlikely to ever see again.
