Taiwan observes National Day on October 10, a date commonly known as Double Ten Day. On OCT 9, 2026, the Instagram account HAZY posted a carousel of scenes captured during recent aerial rehearsals over Taipei.
One photograph places three helicopters, a suspended Republic of China flag, and Taipei 101 against a warm, hazy sky. Taiwan’s Military News Agency identified this year’s flag formation as CH-47SD and UH-60M helicopters.
Another image looks upward at five Brave Eagle advanced trainer jets flying in formation. The aircraft release five columns of red, white, and blue smoke, the colors spreading across the sky as the formation climbs.
The source caption moves beyond the spectacle. It asks people to preserve their kindness, embrace hard-won peace, and continue toward the future with freedom and resolve.
