Rather than going a bit off-topic in the "What did you fly today" topic, I figured these would be more appropriate over here. Some of the photos I've taken of the Heritage Flight Training weekend planes during their sessions in the skies over Tucson.
In explanation, each year, around late February to early March, Davis Monthan AFB hosts the Heritage Flight training/certification weekend, for airshow pilots with vintage warbirds. Once these pilots have their certification, they can fly in formation with modern warbirds at airshows around the country. For those of us in Tucson, however, it's like we get a weekend airshow all our own each year, and it's a great weekend to break out the DSLR with the zoom lens. My house happens to be close enough to the base, that we often get planes turning on final right overhead, and some of these photos were taken right from my driveway.
