From a U.S. Air Force News Release dated 8 March 2019:

"This year the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation is bringing its dramatic displays of American air power to more than 60 air shows across the country.

Once again the A-10C Thunderbolt II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II will fly alongside their historic counterparts, including the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning and P-51 Mustang.

This is also the first year that the F-35 Demo Team, previously known as the F-35 Heritage Flight Team, will showcase the full capabilities of the world’s most advanced fighter.

Civilian and military pilots participated in the annual Heritage Flight Training Course during the first weekend in March, and the 2019 season will begin in earnest with the Yuma Air Show, March 9-10 at MCAS Yuma, AZ. Air Force Heritage Flight will end their season at Nellis Air Force Base outside of Las Vegas, NV on Nov. 17."
