The Heritage Flight Conference is happening much earlier than in past years. It's scheduled for Feb 9-12 with arrivals starting Feb 7-8. I'm hearing some grumblings that the A-10 is back in the lineup, though I don't believe the A-10 demo team is being reactivated.

The Heritage Flight Training has provided excellent photo opportunities in past years.  I encourage AzAp members to come photograph this years event.

Is there a certain day that'll be better than others to come down?  I may only get one day and want to maximize my opportunity.

I did this on base several years ago. While it was great to be up close, the shots suffered due to the location of the sun.

I may run down for this.

I'm trying to get a schedule of what's flying and at what times. Raptor Demo the last two years has kicked off the festivities at 0900 on the weekend. Then the formation transitions happen, Raptor leads the flight for the show passes and then the formation will change up for more passes. The morning session goes till about 1100ish afternoon session starts around 1300. There may be a little more flying this year since the A-10 is back in the lineup. I also heard the F-15 is also back in heritage flight line up, but no demo. If I get more info I will pass it on. Just remember this is not a public event...Off base shooting is usually better anyway.

Ross: If you can only make it down for one day I would recommend Saturday. Hope to see you there.
