Saw this pic in the AF Magazine Daily Report:
Caption: Members of the first-ever F-35 Lightning II heritage flight team from Luke AFB, Ariz., participate in the Heritage Flight Conference at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., March 4-6, 2016. Air Force photo by SSgt. Staci Miller.

The F-35 strike fighter is now qualified to take part in Air Combat Command's heritage flight program, which demonstrates the history of America's airpower as modern fighter aircraft fly alongside World War II, Korean, and Vietnam-era aircraft, the service announced. The fifth-generation fighter qualified on March 6 at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., and its first air show as a member of the Heritage Flight Team will be April 2-3 at Luke AFB, Ariz., states the release. &quot;Being a part of these heritage flights allows the world to learn more about the F-35 and at the same time see just how far airpower has come over the years,&quot; said Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus, 56th Fighter Wing commander. &quot;The F-35 will be the backbone of the Air Force fighter fleet and represent the future for the US, our partners, and allies. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to see how amazing the F-35 is.&quot; The team will travel to 16 airshows across the United States ending at Nellis AFB, Nev., in November.

Luke AFB will present the &quot;75 Years of Airpower&quot; air show to the Arizona community April 2-3.

The F-35 Heritage Flight Team schedule:
- April 2-3: Luke AFB
- April 22-24: Langley AFB, Virginia
- May 7-8: Ft Lauderdale, Florida
- May 28-29: Jones Beach, New York
- June 18-19: Ocean City, Maryland
- June 25-26: Hill AFB, Utah
- July 8-17: RIAT/Farnborough, England
- Aug. 19-21: Chicago, Illinois
- Sept. 3-5: Cleveland, Ohio
- Sept. 14-18: Reno, Nevada
- Oct. 14-16: Baltimore, Maryland
- Nov. 12-13: Nellis, AFB, Nevada

I think Holloman has a heritage flight team also -- flying F-4s ... believe they were at the POW/MIA reunion at Randolph last week. TAZ

10-4 Taz, THAT is the Sound of Freedom!, I miss the regular burner lightings of the F14s when they came off the assembly line out in Calverton LI. Now the place is nothing but 2 abandoned 10k ft, military spec runways in perfect condition, with a couple of deer occasionally running by, sad
