Honor Flight Syracuse

The National Honor Flight Network was established in 2005 to transport veterans at no cost to Washington, DC to visit the nation’s memorials erected in their honor. Honor Flight Syracuse (HFS), currently led by President Kevin Bradley, Major General, USAF (ret.), conducted its inaugural mission in October 2012 for 27 veterans.  Since then, over 1,050 veterans have flown on one of the 15 missions conducted to date. HFS serves ten counties in the greater Central NY area, and is one of 130 Regional Hubs in the National Honor Flight Network. In accordance with Honor Flight policy, priority order for each mission is given to WWII and Korean War veterans and terminally ill veterans from any era.  HFS generally flies two missions per year, one in April and one in September.  HFS is continually accepting Veteran applications for our future missions. Veteran candidates are prioritized in the order in which they are received, with exceptions only made in extraordinary circumstances.
