The next Central Missouri Honor Flight escort #41 is coming up shortly, so please come out and help honor these WWII, Korean, and Vietnam Vets as they return home from their flight
Staging: July 27, 2016 at 8 pm (2000 hrs) @ Firefighters Memorial Kingdom City Junction of Hwy 54 and I-70 next to the BP station. This is a Wednesday night ride. We will then proceed to the on ramp and as the buses go by, we will pass them, and lead them back to the hotel. There will be Police escort to the hotel and this is a night ride at Highway speed the estimated time of arrival to Kingdom City is 10:30 pm.
For those volunteers, guardians, Honor Flight Riders and others supporting The Honor Flight, we respectfully request that you make hotel reservations at the nearby Holiday Inn Express or other local hotels. Courtyard Marriott is only able to offer a limited number of discounted rooms for our traveling veterans. Recently, we have learned that a number of you have been reserving rooms from this room block, innocently, not knowing that there are only 10-15 of those discounted rooms available for most flights. Veterans designated for this flight will not be told of our recommendation until their pre-flight briefing on July 17, and that those veterans driving some distance should stay at the hotel prior to and after the flight The result is that discounted room availability, intended for veterans, is no longer available by then. We appreciate your understanding.
