The celebration wasn’t over yet for patriotic passengers departing the nation’s capital after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
On Tuesday, a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight departing from Ronald Reagan International Airport in Arlington, Virginia, bound for Nashville, Tennessee, started singing.
Matt Oakley of Nashville, Tennessee, posted a clip of the moment on TikTok. The footage shows a man standing in front of the plane belting out Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”

“The man who stood in front of the plane was a veteran who served this country,” Oakley told Fox News Digital.
“He had the whole plane at attention and there were a lot of people singing along,” he added.
The veteran seen in the video was wearing a flannel shirt and a red “Make America Great Again” hat.
