Our Mission:

To transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Priority is given to WWII Veterans, along with those other Veterans who may be terminally ill. Our NO COST mission continues as we fly our Korean, Vietnam and all Veterans on future missions. Departure for this one day trip to Washington, D.C. is from the St. Pete – Clearwater International Airport (PIE).

Honor Flight of West Central Florida – Postponement of Honor Flight Trips due to Covid-19

The Board of Directors of Honor Flight of West Central Florida recently met and after much discussion and careful consideration have decided to postpone flights for 2021.

If circumstances change, we will reevaluate the possibility of flying this year. This was a difficult decision and was not reached lightly. The safety of the Veterans, guardians and volunteers was and is our number one priority.

With every difficult decision, there will be those in favor and those who oppose. In conversations and dealings with each other and the board, please be kind.

Thank you for understanding.
