Our battle tested Huey, "Greyhound" will spend June 27-29 at the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall, Darbee Park, in Caro, Michigan. A poignant tribute to the fallen of the Vietnam War, this half-size replica of the memorial in Washington, D.C. is also known as the healing wall. Flights are available: Friday, June 27th 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm; Saturday, June 28th 10:00 am to 3:00 pm; Sunday, June 29th 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Check our website under Plane Rides for more information.
Depending on demand, there may be a line waiting for flights. Prepaid and walk up passengers will be processed on a “first come, first served” basis. Plan on arriving about an hour prior to the time you wish to fly. It usually takes about 45 minutes to sign in and go through the processing and safety briefing. This is a popular program, we highly recommend you arrive before 1:00pm to claim a spot on one of the flights.
