ABOUT HONOR FLIGHT:

REGIONAL HONOR FLIGHT- VIRGINIA:

Virginia's regional Honor Flight organization is Honor Flight Historic Triangle Virginia (HFHTVA) www.honorflighthtva.org

HFHTVA Trip #5 is scheduled for Saturday, 30 April 2011. Applications for local veterans are available for download from the "Veterans Applications" page of the website.

The program operates entirely on funds from individual and corporate donors. HFHTVA deeply appreciates the local sponsorship by the Langley Federal Credit Union, Towne Bank, Sertoma Club of Norfolk, Mearsk Shipping Line, DAV Chapter 13, and Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding.

To make a financial contribution to HFHTVA to help more Virginia veterans take this once-in-a-lifetime trip, please visit the "Donations" page of the website.

NATIONAL HONOR FLIGHT:

National Waiting List:

Currently there are over 9,500 WWII Veterans on the national waiting list. (Note: the national list is different from the regional lists. Some local hubs maintain a separate waiting list for the veterans in their areas. For example, in Virginia, there is no waiting list needed as veterans generally obtain seats on the next upcoming trip.) The total of those on the national waiting list combined with those maintained by individual hubs exceeds 30,000. There is some overlap of veteran departure areas, with some veterans choosing to depart on a flight from outside of their local hub, and some veterans also travel to spend winters in warmer climates. Therefore, concrete waiting list figures are difficult to obtain.
