Flight Crew Application - Midwest Honor Flight

Midwest Honor Flight — Crew Application

NOTICE: Effective immediately and as voted by the Board of Directors in the spring of 2025, all volunteers wishing to be part of the Medical Team or as a Bus Captain who have not previously flown must fly as a Guardian first to get a better understanding of the day on flight. This change has been implemented by our insurance and our board to better prepare our Flight Crew Teams for what to expect on flight and to continue to ensure the safety of our Veterans on each Mission.

Because they play such a significant role in our program, Midwest Honor Flight reserves the right to disqualify any Crew Member based upon the requirements listed above or require additional information/medical screening to ensure the safety of all Veterans on flight.

You will need:

FLIGHT CREW & MEDICAL TEAM must attend one mandatory in-person training prior to flight
Crew cannot be the spouse or significant other of any Veteran on flight
Crew must be between the age of 18-75 at the time of the flight
Crew must be physically capable of performing their assigned role, which includes assisting any and all Veterans getting in/out of seats and honorchairs (wheelchair); up/down escalators; and up/down stairs
Medics specifically must be qualified to perform the duties of a Medic and have medical experience
Crew must be able to push a Veteran in an honorchair for a minimum of one hour at a time including up and down inclines (estimated at 8 miles throughout the entire day)
Crew must be capable of independent communication with Veterans and Midwest Honor Flight
Crew must not require use of canes, crutches, walkers, slings, personal oxygen concentrators, have back issues, casts, or other limiting physical strength and agility
