Honor Flight of the Quad Cities donated 30 wheelchairs to Dubuque Honor Flight for their upcoming flights.
Thanks to Rain. Tina and Rihanna at the Quad City Airport for their help.
Honor Flight of the Quad Cities is happy to announce the resumption of Honor Flights to Washington DC so that veterans who served during our conflicts may visit the monuments built in their honor.
The next flight is planned for Thursday, November 4, 2021 and will be named the Bob Morrison Memorial Flight in honor of the late founder of Honor Flight of the Quad Cities.
Volunteers will call those eligible to go. Health and safety will be of prime importance. At this time, only those Veterans and Guardians who have been fully vaccinated will be on the flight. Those not vaccinated will be taken on a later flight.
Masks will be worn by all participants whenever they are indoors.
At the end of the day (about 10 p.m.), the Veterans will return to the Quad City International Airport. The public is invited to come to the airport and give the veterans a warm reception and welcome home.
Those interested in going on a flight as a Guardian that are capable of caring for and assisting Veterans, including those that may be in a wheelchair, may fill out an application available at Application Forms page.
Applications for veterans who served during WWII, Korea, or Vietnam can also be found on the Application Forms page. Veterans and guardians will be called in the order their applications are received. The waiting period may be a couple of years. We encourage all to apply now to get their names on the lists.
Due to COVID-19 the Honor Flight QC Board has also postponed the June 4th Honor Flight from the Quad Cities to Washington D.C.
