Investigate and hold accountable everyone involved in NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman's unauthorized July 4th flyover of Washington, D.C. The FAA explicitly denied this request on June 30, classifying Isaacman's privately owned F-5 Tiger II jets as "very high-risk" over densely populated areas and warning that "a single system failure will render the aircraft uncontrollable." That denial was ignored. What happened next was a deliberate legal workaround. Isaacman transferred his private jets to NASA, reclassifying them as "public use" aircraft to strip the FAA of jurisdiction. This wasn't a gray area — it was a calculated end-run around a safety ruling signed by FAA Flight Standards Director Hugh Thomas. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was in the cockpit when it happened. The White House called it "one for the ages." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, whose department oversees the FAA, was reportedly kept in the dark entirely. Government officials used a bureaucratic loophole to fly Cold War-era fighter jets over hundreds of thousands of people after federal safety regulators said no. That is not a technicality. That is a dangerous abuse of power, and it demands a full congressional investigation.
