Honoring American Veterans

Rochester, New York is one of 100 established 'hubs' in the national Honor Flight Network. We are not-for-profit, and created to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices.

The mission of Honor Flight is more than timely; it is urgent!
Across our country we lose 1,100 - 1,300 World War II Veterans per day!  Average age of those waiting to go from Rochester is 88.

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 the Fall of 2012.  The sooner Veterans apply, the sooner they fly.
