Flag City Honor Flight with their first Charter Flight of 2025

Air Planning and JetBlue assist Flag City Honor Flight with their first Charter Flight of 2025

Water cannon salute

Air Planning had the pleasure of assisting Flag City Honor Flight to bring veterans from Toledo, OH to Washington, DC (DCA) on a JetBlue charter flight to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and other memorials in the National Mall. Flag City Honor Flight chartered JetBlue's A320, featuring 159 seats, free WiFi and DirecTV directly into DCA. JetBlue was even able to allocate their special Vets in Blue livery for the occassion!

The Flag City community helped to raise funds to send these veterans to the Nation’s Capital to honor their service and sacrifice during their time in uniform. These men and women were accompanied by family and guardians and given a true heroes welcome in both DC and in Ohio when they returned. With water canon salutes and supporters in each city, the veterans received warm welcomes all around.

Vets in Blue A320 livery

The Honor Flight Network works with communities all over the country to provide this special gift to veterans. It is with the help of community members and these Honor Flight Chapters across the country that we can recognize and celebrate these veterans, especially the Vietnam veterans, many of whom have not received a proper hero’s welcome home.

If your local Honor Flight Hub is planning an upcoming trip to our Nation's Capital, Air Planning is available to assist.
