Honor Flight #37 Takes Off November 10–12, 2026

October 19, 2026 — Honor Flight Southern Arizona’s Flight #37 is scheduled for November 10–12, 2026, with 20 Veterans and 20 Guardians on board. Many of the Veterans on this flight will be accompanied by a family member serving as their Guardian. Mail Call – letters from home for our Veterans!

On October 17, our Honor Flight Coordinator, Pam Hartwell-James, attended the Flight Orientation, where she met most of the Veterans and their families ahead of the trip.

“It was so heartwarming to meet and visit with the Veterans who will be receiving the beautiful thank-you cards and letters we write,” Pam shared. “Putting faces to the names makes our letter writing even more meaningful.”

Join Us for the Welcome Home Party!

We will hold another Welcome Home Party for our Veterans at Tucson International Airport (TUS) on Thursday, November 12. Their Southwest flight is expected to arrive around 8:00 p.m.

  • Parking: Park in the hourly lot, cross the street, and go upstairs.
  • Bring: A Welcome Home sign!

If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to Pam at 916-505-0904 or email at pamhj102@gmail.com.

Honor Flight Southern Arizona works year-round to conduct as many flights as possible. Flights will “take off” as scheduled if funding and guardian needs are met.

These are special chartered flights for Native American veterans as they head to Washington, DC to see the many monuments that have been erected in their honor. A project of writing letters of appreciation to those veterans on those flights generally takes place a couple of months prior to scheduled flights. There are sample letters at the link below.
