USAF Heritage Flight is short for the United States Air Force Heritage Flight. It was originally created in 1997 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force. The flight demonstration team incorporates fighters from World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and other conflicts in which the USAF has been involved. Heritage Flight serves as a living memorial to the men and women who have served - or are currently serving - in the U.S. Air Force, and proudly support Air Force recruiting and retention efforts.
