Performers: Navy Legacy Flight
The Navy Legacy Flight Foundation program matches today’s frontline military fighters with their predecessors in close flight maneuvers at air shows nationwide. U.S. Navy F/A-18F “Rhino” fighters, F/A-18G “Growler” Electronic Counter- measure 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 and VFA-122 are the U.S. Navy’s Leg- acy Flight teammates. These talented active duty aviators fly the dynamic Super Hornet tactical demonstrations that precede our Navy Legacy flights. Strike Fighter Squadron 122 (VFA-122), also known as the “Flying Eagles,” are the west coast team and Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106), also known as the “Gladiators,” are the east coast team.
Starting in 2022, all types of the U.S. Navy training aircraft began doing static demonstra- tions at air shows and performing Legacy Flights with the fighters and legacy warbird aircraft. The Navy approves a select group of civilian pilots to fly their warbirds in formation with the TACDE- MO and F-35C aircraft. Intensive training and preparation are the focus of a week-long mission each spring to prepare the pilots for safe and en- joyable demonstrations all over the U.S.
