Welcome Home 16 Military Heroes
06/06/2024 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join us in Paso Robles to commemorate the anniversary of D-Day and pay tribute to 16 local Military Heroes!
Event Highlights:
Legacy Flight: 16 Local Military Heroes will take a ride on the restored WWII C-47B, “Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber”! Departing at 11 AM, Veterans from the Central Coast, selected by Honor Flight Central Coast of California, will soar over Morro Rock and up to Hearst Castle, treating them to stunning coastal views during the 40-minute flight.
Prime Viewing Spots: If you’re along the coast, head to Cayucos or San Simeon Piers for a chance to catch a glimpse of Betsy as she passes by. Let’s honor our veterans by waving flags in their honor!
Welcome Home Ceremony: Around 11:25 AM, our returning Veterans will be welcomed with a flag line at the Warbirds Museum. Wear your Welcome Home Military Heroes shirt and bring flags to show your support.
Gratitude: A big thank you to Estrella Warbirds and Gooney Birds for their unwavering support, and heartfelt appreciation to Sherman Smoot’s family for making this event possible.
Let’s come together to honor Sherman’s legacy and acknowledge the bravery of our veterans. Your presence and support will make this occasion truly meaningful. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a heartfelt tribute!
