Someone you know served our country decades ago and has never taken an Honor Flight. They may never apply on their own. So ask them. “Have you ever taken your Honor Flight?”

If you served during 1976–1989, we encourage you to apply now so you're already in our pipeline as Honor Flight Rochester prepares for future missions. Your generation of veterans had its own experiences, its own challenges, and its own story of service.

Another thing we hear from veterans: “I'll go on the last Honor Flight.” Here's the problem with that plan: We're preparing for Mission 99 for this weekend.
Mission 100 is coming next spring.
And we're already planning for the veterans who come next.

We hear it all the time. “Take someone else.”
“Someone else deserves it more.”
“I’ll go some day” Honor Flight Rochester has now honored more than 5,000 veterans. If you served through 1975, we don't want you to keep waiting for “someone else.” It’s your turn. Apply now.
