In that case, the military would grant him permission once all the forms are signed and approved. It will take about 24 hours, but he will be able to do his flyby the next morning during daytime for visibility reasons. At the end of the hour, he must be back on the ground.

From the air, he can observe the soldiers' movements and he would notice the half-dome shielding used to protect the western portion of Libertas that deflected some of the meteors - notably, the side that's facing Thorne and Solvunn. The shield will have a very faint shimmer if he flies near. He should take care not to fly into it or it will bounce him off into the sun. The military will warn him about this.
