2020 Air Force Heritage Flight schedule brings American air power across the country
Mar 12, 2020
UPDATE: Air Combat Command releases statement on COVID-19
The Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation is bringing the history of American air power to over 60 cities across the country this year.
Once again, the A-10C Thunderbolt II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and F-35A Lightning II will fly alongside their historic counterparts, including the A-1 Skyraider, P-38 Lightning, P-40 Warhawk, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang and the F-86 Sabre.
The F-22 and F-35 demonstration teams will also introduce new commanders for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The Raptor will be piloted by Maj. Josh “Cabo” Gunderson, a combat-proven fighter pilot with over 1,500 hours and two deployments to the Middle East. The F-35 Demo Team will be led by Capt. Kristin “Beo” Wolfe, who has spent approximately 800 piloting the two most advanced fighters on earth – the F-22 and F-35.
Civilian and military pilots participated in the annual Heritage Flight Training Course during the final weekend of February, where they honed their flight routines and received their official certifications.
The 2020 season will begin in earnest with the Yuma Air Show, March 13-14 at MCAS Yuma, AZ. Air Force Heritage Flight will end their season in November with shows in San Antonio, TX and Lake Havasu, AZ.
The schedule is subject to change and will be updated throughout the year at www.airforceheritageflight.org/schedule.
