Special Covid-19 Mission Guidelines:

Updated 8 March 2022

Based on the most current COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines: Protect Yourself and Your Family from COVID-19, and CDC Guidelines of 3 March 2022, going forward, the Lead Ride Captain for any mission will be responsible for determining whether PGR members will have to mask up or not. Please ensure that you have a mask with you, should the need arise, and respect the LRC’s decision in these matters.

Special Information:

The Flight is expected shortly before 12:00 noon with our Veterans coming thru the gate around 12:30 pm.  We need to be in the Terminal for Primary Briefing at 11:45 am. Weather is iffy as far as rain is concerned based on this writing at the time of posting.  Preliminary Briefing around 11:20 am.

We will ride in as group, weather permitting, and Honor Flight says our arrival is something they look forward to. Those that cage can drive in with us but you do need to have a flag or other symbol to signify you are part of the procession.  Kick Stands up for the ride in at 11:30 am.

They will have parking set aside for Bikes and cages.   Please park in the garage closest to the West Tower (right side facing the airport).  Bring your parking pass in for validation at the Honor Flight Desk, which is inside the terminal on the first floor, far west side as soon as you enter the terminal.

The 11:55 am briefing will involve more last minute changes as to where they will place us, as it will not be the usual place, please be on time. We will meet on the far east end of the Terminal where the rental car counters are located.

Please make sure you have a clean American Flag. 

I’m not making any arrangements for a meet up for breakfast and to ride to the staging area based because of the threat of rain.

Is there a Second Stage to this Mission?
