Land of Lincoln Honor Flight

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide round trip transportation from Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Illinois for veterans in order of their service (WWII, Korean Era and Vietnam Era) who wish to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C. This one day trip includes air and ground transportation, meals and snacks, t-shirt and cap, and other items provided completely free of charge to the veteran in honor of his/her service to our country.

Flightless Honor Flight Option

As a result of the flight cancellations caused by the pandemic, Land of Lincoln Honor Flight has developed a Flightless Honor Flight option for any World War II, Korean War Era or Vietnam War Era Veterans who anticipate that they may not be physically able to withstand the rigors of an actual Honor Flight. Veterans who believe they might qualify for this option should contact LLHF as soon as possible for additional information. LLHF can be reached by calling 217-585-1219 or 217-652-4719 or 217-473-2540 or by email at JMB4604@aol.com.
