High Plains Honor Flight Announces Change to ‘Escort & Sendoff’ for April 2023 Event

Giving Veterans an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C., High Plains Honor Flight is a wonderful organization. This year's flight, on April 30, 2023, will be flying out of the Northern Colorado Regional Airport, so that will necessitate a change.

Dozens of Colorado Heroes will be getting the chance to visit the Memorials in Washington pertaining to the branch of military they served in, and/or the battle they fought in. Normally, people line up along I-25 as they travel towards DIA for their flight. That's changed, and High Plains Honor Flight has a new escort route to salute and pay tribute to our Veterans.

Wherein passed years, everyone has gathered at Embassy Suites in Loveland and then headed out onto I-25 for the parade route to DIA, this year will have to be different. The parade/escort will gather at The Ranch and then set out on a designated route with plenty of spaces for people to stand, wave flags and cheer, as they head to the "Fort Collins/Loveland" airport.
