So the lineup for Planes of Fame was to be F-35, P-38, P-51, P-51 (Epic right?). That went on as planned for the practice show and photo flights on Friday.

Saturday (first show day) the P-38 had a cowling issue and didn't fly for the Heritage Flight so it was F-35 and P-51 x2.

The Sunday Heritage flight was different as well. Thankfully they resolved the P-38's issues Saturday night, so it was back. Instead of the two P-51's, Steve Hinton flew the F-86 instead, which is just about my all-time favorite so that was perfectly okay with me!

Shortly after they took off it began to rain. That plus a heritage flight is a new one for me! Certainly made for interesting results.

Here is an "oldie" from 2008. A formation that is not seen too often.

Another rare sight, a RCAF Heritage Flight. 2008 Demo CF-18 Hornet along with Rick Volker piloting Russell Group's Spitfire.

This is actually the 4th FW anniversary flight, the heritage flight was between the P-51, A-10, and F-22. Great pics though, where did you take them? It looks like you're on the opposite side of the runway as the display area
