About the Honor Flight Network
The Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization comprised of 125+ independent hubs working together to achieve the shared Honor Flight mission – celebrating America’s Veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor at our nation’s memorials.
In furtherance of this common goal, we have the enormous privilege of showing our nation’s Veterans the appreciation and honor they deserve. Participation in an Honor Flight trip provides Veterans the opportunity to share this momentous occasion with other comrades, remember the fallen, and share their stories and experiences with other Veterans. Honored Veterans always travel free of charge, thanks to generous donations to our organization.
Since its inception in 2005, Honor Flight has brought over 300,000 Veterans to visit the memorials built to honor their service. While initially focused on America’s World War II Veterans, Honor Flight Network has expanded its mission to include those who served during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Honor Flight TLC program also honors Veterans of any service era who are critically ill.
Honor Flight - Twin Cities
is in a partnership with the Honor Flight Network. The Twin Cities hub was founded by Jerry and Jana Kyser in 2008, and sponsors one-day flights for America’s World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War Veterans living within a 70-mile radius of the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and includes Western Wisconsin. Each flight has 80 Veterans and 90 Guardians, volunteers, and medical personnel from the Twin Cities and surrounding area. An Honor Flight is an emotional, physical, and spiritual journey, and we have a waiting list of over 200 local Veterans that want an opportunity to go on an Honor Flight. This list continues to grow every day.

Honor Flight - Twin Cities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates solely on donations from organizations and individuals. Each flight requires significant resources to pay for the chartered flight, bus transportation in D.C., meals, wheelchair rentals, t-shirts, hats, pins, and a biography book. Guardian tax-deductible contributions help pay for a small fraction of the cost of each flight. The rest of the funding comes from organizations and individuals.
In the 17 years since our 1st flight in 2008, Honor Flight - Twin Cities has coordinated 26 flights with over 5,000 participants and sponsored over 130 flyovers. The 26th Honor Flight - Twin Cities was on October 6, 2025.
To be added to our wait list for a future flight, Veterans, and a Guardian of their choice, need to fill out and mail in an Application. Veteran and Guardian Applications can be found in the “Sign Up” page above.
