Veterans in new wheelchairs

Honor Flight of the Ozarks received over 65 NEW and used wheelchairs to use in Washington, and enough used wheelchairs to help us transport our Veterans to the airplane prior to departure.

Many many thanks to the generosity of our many donors and to Springfield-Branson National Airport for providing storage space for the wheelchairs. We are so grateful for your support!

We need your continued, generous financial support to fund three flights this year. Our organizations wants to be transparent regarding your donations. We take pride that over 90 cents of every donated dollar is spent on flight expenses for our Veterans. Our personnel expenses account for only 1.5%, with the remainder going toward operational costs.
