Spring has officially sprung in the airshow world, with the commencement of the 2024 USAF Heritage Flight Conference at DavisMonthan AFB in sunny Tucson, AZ. This marks the 23rd year in a row that DavisMonthan has hosted the Conference, which has become a yearly favorite for base personnel and their families. Aircraft gathered from February 28th through March 3rd to practice and obtain currencies and certifications to perform the aweinspiring and difficult legacy formations. The USAF Heritage Flight organization is a highly elite group that is limited to a few selected civilian pilots (frequently retired military), specially trained to fly these mixedera flights.
