Honor Flight “Welcome Home”
Flag Line and Escort
Saturday, September 18th, 2021
Sioux Falls Regional Airport
   The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to stand flag line for a “welcome home” of the, long overdue, Veterans Flight.  This will be the Seventh Honor Flight of Veterans returning from a tour of the Veterans’ Memorials in Washington D.C.  They will be returning on Saturday, September 18th, 2021 to the Sioux Falls Regional Airport with a scheduled time for arrival of 8:30 PM.
   Looking forward to another great escort with the Veterans on flight number seven.  We have been asked to post a corridor of flags, in their honor, in the lobby.  They will exit through the lobby to the buses that will be waiting in front of the terminal.  When they have all boarded the buses they will be taken to the Arena where family, friends and all others will be waiting to welcome them back from their journey.  The Patriot Guard Riders have also been asked to assist with escort of the buses from the airport to the Arena and resume our flag line in the Arena as the Veterans exit the buses.  There is no rain forecast for Saturday and the temps appear to be favorable for a great escort.
  Stage: 8:00 PM on Saturday, September 18th at the Sioux Falls Regional Airport.  If you are planning to participate in the escort, you will need to stage in the Cell Phone lot with the buses until it is confirmed that the plane has landed.  Anyone wanting to come to the airport for the flag line only, will have to park in the “Short Term” parking lot.
Staging to take place in the Cell Phone lot under the direction of SFPD (Troy Bruxvoort) – cycles in the second lane are permitted to stay put while individuals are inside once the plane has landed.
   Flags will be available for the flag line in the airport lobby and at the Arena when the buses arrive there.
