Couple of new (for me) MA ANG F-15s callsigns this morning to W105, SPICY 1 and what sounds like DESPOP(?) 1.

When DESPOP(?) calls for taxi they ID as a "MIGHTY MIGHTY". The MA ANG usually ID as "BARNSTORMERS" when they call for taxi. Not sure what "MIGHTY MIGHTY" means, maybe a different unit ? LiveATC Audio

Anyone have any info on the B-2 flyover of DC tomorrow? News said F-22s and B-2s supposed to flyover as part of the ceremonies
This just happened, only thing I've seen officially...

Trump briefly gaggled with reporters under the wing of Air Force One. He said he would sign the One Big Beautiful Bill tomorrow at 5 PM, as B2s and other military planes fly overhead.

"We’ll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads," he said.
