Honor Flight Columbus is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring America’s veterans with a trip to Washington DC to visit their service and war memorials.  These trips are free of charge to any qualified veteran. We strive to help veterans share their stories with future generations, as well as celebrate their service to our country with a proper homecoming that many of them never received. With the conclusion of the 2023 flight season, we have successfully flown 128 missions that totaled over 9,300 veterans. Our organization is funded entirely by donations from various businesses, foundations, school organizations, and other grateful Americans.

Honor Flight Columbus accepts applications from America’s Senior Veterans: Currently, these are the men and women, age 65 and over, who served at least one day of FULL TIME active duty (outside of any basic training active duty). For scheduling, top priority is given to WWII, Korea and terminally ill veterans.

​

Veterans are placed on a waiting list and are booked in the order that we receive their applications. WWII, Korea and terminally ill veterans receive priority and are booked on the first available flight.
