Hero Flights

Hero Flights is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Huntersville, NC, dedicated to providing free air transportation for combat wounded veterans and their families for medical and compassionate purposes. Founded by Chad Lacy, a passionate advocate for flying and the military, Hero Flights operates general aviation aircraft to offer a more accessible and hassle-free travel experience, avoiding long security lines and baggage limits. Their mission is to bridge the gap for veterans who require medical care not available near their homes, ensuring they can reach their destinations free of charge.

As combat wounded veterans return home, Hero Flights recognizes the challenges they face in accessing the necessary medical care. With injuries that often make commercial air travel or long car rides difficult, Hero Flights steps in to provide free flights, catering to the specific needs of each veteran. By coordinating with medical staff on the ground, they ensure a smooth and seamless travel experience, with someone waiting for the veteran upon arrival. Hero Flights works closely with Veterans Airlift Command to identify warriors in need, acknowledging the immeasurable sacrifice made by these individuals and striving to repay their debt through their dedicated services.
