Hero Flights is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to provide free air transportation for combat wounded and their families for medical and other compassionate purposes. We personally fly the veterans in general aviation aircraft. This means many more airports are available to us and we can avoid long security lines and baggage limits. We cater the flights to the needs of the veteran and make every attempt to make the flight and easy as possible. We coordinate everything with the medical staff on the ground so that they know where and when we will be landing and so someone is waiting for the veteran when we arrive.

As our combat wounded veterans return home they often find out that the medical care they need is not offered near where they live. Many of these men and women have injuries that make it difficult to travel on commercial airlines or ride in a car for a long period of time. We bridge that gap for them. We provide flights to get them where they need to be completely free of charge to them. We are in contact with Veterans Airlift Command who helps us identify warriors in need. They have a few sayings that we’ve internalized ourselves. We owe a tremendous debt to those that sacrifice for us. It is impossible to repay, but that won’t stop us from trying.
