Dream Flights

Dream Flights is a nonprofit dedicated to honoring the service, sacrifice and stories of America's senior veterans by providing them with a life-changing experience: an open-air flight in the cockpit of one of Dream Flights’ fleet of fully restored WWII-era Stearman biplanes. From its founding in 2011 to today, the organization has honored more than veterans and seniors with free Dream Flights. Each is made possible through the generous donations of corporate sponsors including Sport Clips, Veterans United Home Loans, American Airlines, Allied Pilots Association, American Healthcare Association/National Center for Assisted Living, and individuals and businesses from across the country. The flights are piloted by professional, volunteer pilots, many of whom are retired military aviators. In 2021, Dream Flights completed a 61-day, 49-state mission called Operation September Freedom to honor 891 members of the ‘greatest generation’ for their service and sacrifice. According to Dream Flights' founder Darryl Fisher, this historic tour was our nation’s last opportunity to actively recognize and honor the men and women whose sacrifice led to the Sept. 2, 1945 signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, which effectively ended WWII.
