POTUS and FLOTUS were welcomed at 12:49 p.m. by the announcer and Hail to the Chief as pool moved to the second holding location opposite the presidential box.
POTUS could be seen listening to America the Beautiful as a trained bald eagle flew up into the sky and returned to its trainer.
There was then a prayer before the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner and another flyover that included a B2 bomber.
Pool moved through the crowd as it clapped military personnel driving around the circuit in white pickup trucks and at least one ATV.
