The U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight program presents the evolution of USAF air power by flying today's fighter aircraft in close formation with vintage fighter aircraft. t was created in 1997 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force.

The F-22 Raptor is the fastest and most maneuverable fighter jet in the world today. The F-22's twin engines produce more thrust than any other fighter. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic design, this allows the F-22 to “Supercruise” at 1.5 times the speed of sound without using fuel consuming afterburner. The F-22’s unique thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls allow it to outmaneuver any other aircraft. The F-22 Raptor demo puts thrust vectoring on full display during its demonstration defying imagination as it climbs straight up, stops in mid-air, then reverses towards the ground before flipping the nose around in a summersault at near zero forward speed. The F-22 makes sharp, sudden turns displacing and compress air into vapor and...

The F-18 Rhino Demo Team flies the F/A-18F Super Hornet in a 15 minute demonstration of the Navy's workhorse carrier based fighter.  This twin engine beast puts out 44,000 pounds of heart vibrating thrust in dynamic display of speed and maneuverability that is awe inspiring for a fighter originally developed over 40 years ago. .  > Click Here for more info and photos of the F-18 Super Hornet....

The F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, is the most advanced stealth fighter in the world today. The full capabilities demonstration of the Air Force F-35A features 12 different maneuvers and lasts approximately 15 minutes. During the demo, some of the maneuvers will see the F-35A as low as 200 feet off the ground and at speeds that exceed 700 mph. The two most eye-popping maneuvers include the pedal turn where the F-35A drops in a tight turn at near zero forward speed and the tactical pitch where the jets enters at a high speed and then turns abruptly to literally skid across the sky. > Click Here for more information on the F-35 Lightning II....
