The team's logo.

The Fresno Flight are an American Basketball Association franchise based in Fresno, California. The team was created in the 2012-2013 season and are the first ABA franchise to be based in Fresno since the California Heatwave moved from the city in the middle of the 2005-2006 season.

Due to the lack of stability in finding a home venue, the Flight play their home games in a number of differing locations, such as West Fresno Middle School, Fresno Counties Economic Opportunity Commission, and Fresno Community College.

The Flight compete in the Southern California Division of the ABA.
