Step back in time and experience aviation history aboard Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber, a beautifully restored 1943 Douglas C-47B Skytrain that served during World War II.

This unique flight offers a rare opportunity to fly in one of the most iconic aircraft of the Greatest Generation while helping support Honor Flight Central Coast California’s mission to honor our veterans. Only 8 of 18 seats remain available.

A suggested donation of $300 per seat is requested. The flight date has not yet been determined, but all passengers will receive at least 30 days’ advance notice. To reserve your seat(s), contact: communications@honorflightccc.org with your name and phone number. Seats are limited and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

Honor Flight Central Coast California is looking for veterans and currently serving military personnel to ride or walk with us in the Templeton 4th of July Parade as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Participants will meet at the Templeton Post Office at 1010 N. Main Street at 8 a.m. to decorate our parade entry and prepare for our journey through town. The parade begins promptly at 9:30 a.m., so all participants should be in place and ready before then.

Join Honor Flight as they honor our nation’s history, celebrate freedom, and represent the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. We would be proud to have you ride with us!

RSVP to communications@honorflightccc.org.
