The view times over each city are expected to take about five minutes.
The C-47, a World War II aircraft that carries the colors of the 440th Troop Carrier Group's 97th Troop Carrier Squadron, is based at the Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne Airport, while the two Marchetti SF-260s are coming from Air Combat USA.
The three cities joined forces to commemorate Independence Day as most municipalities across Southern California have canceled their fireworks shows due to the coronavirus pandemic.
