Honoring American Veterans

Rochester, New York is one of 90 established 'hubs' in the national Honor Flight Network. We are not-for-profit, and created to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices.

                 "We fly our heroes to Washington, DC to visit
                       and reflect together at their memorials."

The mission of Honor Flight is more than timely; it is urgent!
Across our country we lose more than 1,200 World War II Veterans per day!  The average age of those waiting to go is 87.

   
Honor Flight is free to all WWII veterans and to veterans from any era who suffer a terminal illness.  Our goal is to take every veteran who otherwise would not or could not go, and who wants to fly.  WWII Veterans typically fly in the order their applications are received. Medical priorities are the exception.

The flying season is April to November. With hundreds of local veterans currently in line, Applications are now being accepted for flights late in 2010 and 2011.  The sooner Veterans apply, the sooner they fly.
