16 decommissioned Harrier jets left RAF Cottesmore and made their final flight over 7 RAF bases and local towns.
The jets have been taken out of service to save £100m.
First seen in action in the 60s, the Harrier was used in close air support and has the ability to take off and land vertically.
Air Vice-Marshal Greg Bagwell said: "The Harrier is a true icon and stands testament to the innovation and excellence of British design and engineering and the skill and courage of our airmen.
