The veterans do not pay to fly. Annual flights are supported by charitable donations.

After spending the day in Washington, D.C., the group is expected to return at 8:30 p.m. to Grand Air Hangar, 11777 W. Airport Service Road in Swanton, Ohio.

The public is invited to attend the welcome home celebration and are encouraged to wave flags, cheer loudly and shake hands with returning veterans.

There are two remaining flights scheduled for this year — September 10 and November 12.
