Guardians

Guardians must be at least 18 years old and be able to handle the physical requirements of traveling with a Veteran.

We encourage family and friends to travel with a Veteran as their Guardian. Generally, a family guardian must be at least one generation younger than the Veteran they will accompany on a mission.
Spouses are unable to be Guardians.

Since many Veterans may not have a family or friend travel with them as a guardian, we have a great demand for others to participate as a guardian of a Veteran.

All Guardians are asked to contribute $600 toward their own Honor Flight expense, payable immediately upon notification of selection. Guardians must attend a mandatory training session prior to their flight.

Please find the online fill-in Guardian application form below.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a waiting list for Guardians and limited spots available. If you submit a Guardian application and do not have a family/friend Veteran to escort, please be patient. You will be contacted by an HFO staff member when you’ve been selected to go on a flight. Thank you for your patience and thank you for your support.
