Veterans
If you are a Veteran who served at any time between 1941-1975, or are a Veteran from any era, with a terminal illness, and would like to experience an Honor Flight, please complete the application below. Due to generous donors, there is NO cost to Veteran to go on his/her Honor Flight. Priority is given to WWII and Korean War Veterans, and Veterans from any era with terminal illnesses (be sure to notate your terminal condition on your application). **Please note that due to the influx of Vietnam Veteran applications, it may be considerable time until you are called for a flight. We take 90-100 veterans on two flights/year (pending funding).
As you submit your application, please double check your address entry (extra/missing numbers, Street vice Ave, do not add any notes in the address block, etc…). You will receive a confirmation email when you hit “submit” at the end of the application and that’s how you know we received your application. If you didn’t get a confirmation email or are unsure, you can call us at (800)655-6997 or email us at info@honorflightsandiego.org to check on it.
Guardians

The Guardian position is a working position (physically assisting veterans, loading and pushing wheelchairs, assisting with luggage, etc.). Please be certain you are physically able to serve as a Guardian before applying.
**Please note there is a waiting list for non-family guardians to be called for a flight. Due to the dynamics of pairing veterans and guardians, and last minute cancellations, you may receive a call early in the planning process, or weeks/days in advance of a flight.

The fee to be a Guardian is $950 and includes round-trip charter airfare, two nights lodging, charter buses, all meals, t-shirt, lanyard, etc… The guardian fee will be due when you have been contacted by a team leader for the upcoming trip, please do not pay in advance.
