Honor Flight Central Florida serves Veterans in our community by flying them to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials a grateful nation has built in their honor at no charge to the veteran. Guardian donors accompany veterans on this one day trip at their own expense. This covers the cost of the Honor Flight related expenses and provides them the privilege of accompanying one of our hometown heroes for the day on the national mall.
Since 2005 the Honor Flight Network has flown over 250,000 Veterans from 46 states and 136 regional hubs. Honor Flight Central Florida is a registered HUB of the national Honor Flight Network. We have been operating since 2012 and have flown over 1000 central Florida hometown heroes. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit all-volunteer organization. We serve Central Florida Veterans regardless of which county they live in and fly out of the Orlando International Airport.
Finally the planes are flying again as Honor Flight Central Florida is honoring 26 Veterans by escorting them to Washington D.C to honor them for their service. On this mission will be one WWII Veteran, 4 Korean War and 21 Vietnam War Veterans.
While not everyone walked away with an award Saturday, we hope what you took home in your hearts was even better.
The Honor Flight Central Florida Hub is excited to fly 25 Veterans from Central Florida to Washington DC on April 9th.
Please join us March 19, 2022 for our 4th Annual Hot Rods for Heroes Car, Truck & Bike show. Details here
I have just returned from an Honor flight on April 28. My heartfelt thanks to all the Guardians and Volunteers who made this one of the happiest days of my life. I have never seen such an operation run so smoothly in my life. I am so proud and thankful to have been a part of this program. God Bless you all so much.

HUNDREDS of people turned out at 10:00 at night to welcome them home. When I walked through that sea of red white and blue pushing her I finally let it all go. It was too much. The whole day came crashing in on me, a 5 year old and a 10 year old little girl thanking a 93 year old Navy Wave. What a span of time. What changes l learned Lillian has witnessed in her life. What an honor to show her how grateful our nation is for her service. What a visual etched in my memory. If you ever get the chance to do this or know someone that needs to be honored like this then please, please, please, please do it!
