Heritage Flight silhouetted against a partly cloudy sky. L to R. F-22 Raptor; P-51 Mustang and A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog)

Heritage Flight feature modern fighter and attack aircraft flying alongside World War II, Korea and Vietnam-era planes in a dramatic display of our nation's air power history. The formations serve as a living memorial to the men and women who have served - or are currently serving - in the U.S. The silhouette of these aircraft reinforces the sacrifices of those that did not return with a ray of sunlight representing grace and hope.
