WHEELCHAIRS -- Old Glory Honor Flight provides a wheelchair for our veterans to use during the day if they need it. We provide trained guardian escorts to push the wheelchairs so the veterans can enjoy their day. Our coach buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts if needed.
OXYGEN -- If the veteran requires oxygen, a prescription for the oxygen must be provided by the veteran's healthcare provider, identifying the delivery method (mask or nasal cannula), frequency (as needed or continuously), and the rate of delivery (usually 2-3 liters per minute). The veteran's family must secure a FAA-approved oxygen concentrator for use on the plane. Your normal oxygen supplier will have these for rent. We will provide oxygen cylinders to be used in Washingotn, D.C. Veterans on oxygen are required to have oxygen cylinders available from their home to the departure airport and also on the return from their local airport back to their home. No oxygen cylinders are permitted to be used on the aircraft. If the veteran requires oxygen during the trip, please call us to discuss arrangements. |
