Another thing we hear from veterans:

“I'll go on the last Honor Flight.”

Here's the problem with that plan:

We're preparing for Mission 99 for this weekend.
Mission 100 is coming next spring.
And we're already planning for the veterans who come next.

There is no reason to wait for a “last flight.”

If you served through 1975, your generation is our priority now. We want to honor as many of you as possible while you can enjoy this experience together.

By the end of this year, Honor Flight Rochester will have flown more than 5,100 veterans.

Don't wait. It's your turn.

Honor Flight Rochester (HFR) is pleased to announce that Mission 99, our final mission of the 2026
season, will fly this weekend, October 24-25th out of the Frederick Douglass Airport. With the glorious weather, the leaves at their peak, and the approach of Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, let us give pause and thank our veterans for all that they have done. For our veterans and all of us at Honor Flight Rochester, every day is Veterans Day. Join us on Sunday, October 25th at the final Welcome Home Ceremony to help say thank you and welcome home. And if you know a veteran who has not flown on Honor Flight, sign them up to fly. 2027 will be here before you know it and the
2027 flying season along with Mission 100. Mission 99 includes 59 veterans as follows: 2 Korean War veterans, 1 Cold War veteran, 1 Cold War/Vietnam veteran, 9 Vietnam veterans and 46 post 1975 era veterans. It includes 17 Air Force veterans, 22 Army veterans, 4 Marine Corp veterans and 16 Navy veterans. Since 2008, including Mission 99, Honor Flight Rochester will have flown 5,136 Veterans.
