Pilots set to fly P51, F-16 for heritage flight 

 

HILL AIR FORCE BASE - Two pilots are preparing to fly together at the Warriors Over The Wasatch Air Show at Hill Air Force Base on June 28 and 29, but the planes they are planning to fly are decades apart. 

 

 A long-standing tradition at air shows across the country involves the Heritage Flight with a P51 and F-16 flying side-by-side, something Major Mark "Juice" Whisler, who will be flying the F-16, says is a sight worth a thousand words. 

 

 "You put those two planes together in the sky at the same time in front of military and civilians, and you get to see and hear the differences between the two, and get a look at where we were and where we are now," said Whisler. Sometimes airshows will add an F-22 into the formation he says, giving a sense of the past, present, and future of the Air Force.
