USAF Heritage Flights

In 1997 the USAF ACC (Air Combat Command) started flying dissimilar formation flights combining the demonstration teams and civilian heritage warbirds. The flight formations reflected the USAF pride from the past to the present. There was such an overwhelming response that they designed and approved a formal program to continue the flight throughout the airshow seasons In February 1998, the first Heritage Flight Training and Safety seminar was held at Langley AFB. The formal program of ground and flight training was conducted and approved by the Director of Air and Space Operations. In conjunction with the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends, 7-10 April 1999, the Heritage Flight Program was formally included in the ACC Participation in aircraft demonstration. The Heritage Flights are performed at various airshows all over the world. For information , check out ACC's website at: www2.acc.af.mil
