Virtual Honor Flight

Not all veterans can go on an actual Honor Flight to Washington, DC, but they still are deserving of our thanks and gratitude.  Some think the day is too long; a doctor or family member may believe it would be too tasking; or other various reasons. 

We have the perfect alternative for you.  We call it a VIRTUAL HONOR FLIGHT. During this special program, we will celebrate, honor, and thank veterans who defended our freedom and way of life so many years ago.

If you are a veteran unable or unwilling to go on an actual Honor Flight, we would still like you to apply, but for a “Virtual Honor Flight.” The Virtual Honor Flight has all the features of an actual flight.  You will receive the same flight gear, have your photo taken, be served a private dinner with other veterans, enjoy some musical entertainment and watch a special presentation of an actual Honor Flight showing the day’s activities and Washington, DC memorials built in your honor. Several surprises are also planned for the veterans as we honor them for their sacrifice and service to our nation. This event is free, no charge to anyone, and by invitation-only.

To apply to attend a Virtual Honor Flight, the same procedures apply as for an actual flight.  We require a copy of your DD214 and you must fill out an application.  This can be done online or with a paper application.  Both can be found on the Veterans tab drop down menu on our website’s home page -- honorflightsouthflorida.org -- or call our toll free number-1-855-359-1838. 

Please note in the comment section of your application that it is for a Virtual Honor Flight.

Once we receive and enter/accept your application and DD214, you will receive an invitation* in the mail with all the necessary details.  Each veteran is allowed to bring one guest to accompany you throughout the event, approximately three hours (5-8pm usually).  

We have had many Virtual Honor Flights, and many happy and satisfied veterans.  We hope that if you receive an invitation from us, that you will join us for a flightless, shortened time of honor and appreciation.

*the frequency of a VHF is depending on how many applicants we have on file but typically once every 12-18 months.  

Feel free to contact us for more information or fill out our easy online application to get the process started.
