Honor Flight Dayton - canceled
Join us for the next Honor Flight Dayton Homecoming!
UPDATE 9/22/23 IMPORTANT--PLEASE SHARE: On behalf of the Honor Flight Dayton Board I regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel tomorrow’s flight (23 Sept). The weather forecast indicates heavy rain and wind gusts up to 35 knots which makes for very precarious travel conditions. This decision was not made lightly as the logistics in putting together a flight reach far beyond those just traveling to DC. However, we take the safety of our veterans very seriously and do not want to compromise the well-being of any of the veterans on the trip.
We are looking into our options with the airlines for possibly re-scheduling the trip this Fall. We will reach out with any details once we have them.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but truly think it is for the best. Our veterans want to have a day they will never forget….this was not what we had in mind.
=========================
Honor Flight Dayton
Help show our appreciation to these men and women for the sacrifice they made for our country by coming to the airport to greet the flight when we return.
You have two options to welcome home our veterans:
1) Joint us near the airline ticket counters and clap and cheer as we come out at the end of the evening. There will be the AF Band of Flight and Young Marines/JROTC/Civil Air Patrol units out there as well. This is a great way to welcome our veterans back. We will be getting out there ~ 9:30.

2) Welcome us at the gate. In order to do this, you must be get your gate pass from American Airlines before 8pm in order to get through TSA before it closes. You will need a government issued picture ID to get through security. Children under 13 will not need an ID.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you choose to go upstairs you must remain upstairs until after the veterans have exited the secured area. This will be strictly enforced.
Honor Flight representatives will be in the gate area with instructions, information and will be available to answer any questions. Announcements in the gate area will be around 8:00pm.
Questions concerning the homecoming can be directed to hfdwelcomehome@gmail.com or contacting HFD’s lead coordinator for this event - LaTisha Fay (937) 765-1407.
