The annual Israel Air Force flyover for Independence Day started Wednesday morning, with jets flying across the country.

The flyover will run between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and will pass over dozens of cities across the country. The route was planned so that every person in the country wouldn’t have to go further than 20 minutes away to watch the planes.

Here is the schedule, as released by the IDF:
