View Full Version : F-35 Heritage Flight - Airshow Question

A question to anyone who has seen the F-35 Heritage Flight at an airshow this year.

Does the F-35 do a regular full mil jet type solo flight demo, or is it basically just a series of fly-bys with the older warbirds?

Reason for asking is that I have two air show event opportunities coming up on the same weekend and I'm trying to decide which to go for.
I want to take my 92 year old father to one or the other. Doing both might be a bit too much.

Panther,

Thanks for that link.

Still leaves me wondering what they actually do with the F-35 as far as the aerial demo part. The Youtube videos I ran into just show fly-bys with other aircraft, but not an actual solo demo.

Panther,

I did finally run into a video from an earlier 2017 airshow, that does seem to show the F-35 in flight demo mode, and not just slow fly-by mode with the older warbirds.

Thanks for trying to post some help.
