My father-in-law is retired a Air Force pilot who is involved in this charity. The planes are sometimes donated by Southwest or American Airlines and Honor Flight pays for the fuel. They took 280 vets to DC in January of this year alone. Any WWII Veteran who is interested can get information at Honorflight-wcf.org.
