Honoring Naval Aviators Past and Present.
The Navy Legacy Flight Foundation program matches today’s frontline military fighters with their predecessors in close flight maneuvers at air shows nationwide.
USN F/A-18F “Rhino” fighters, F/A-18G “Growler” Electronic Countermeasure aircraft, and F-35C Lightning II fly on the wings of World War II, Korean and Vietnam era fighters in an amazing tribute to Naval Aviators both past and present.
The U.S. Navy’s TACDEMO teams from VFA-106, VFA-122, VAQ-129 and VFA-125 are the U.S. Navy’s Legacy Flight teammates. These talented active duty aviators fly the dynamic tactical demonstrations that precede our Navy Legacy flights.
