The T-38 Talon is a twin-engine supersonic jet that has been the Air Force's primary training plane for pilots since 1961, the Smithsonian's Air & Space magazine reported.
The Air Combat Command, which is part of the Air Force, scheduled the flyover above the National Capital Region. They didn't detail the purpose.
D.C.'s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency first alerted about the flyover on Thursday.
