The Honor Flight landed in Bridgeport Saturday evening around 8pm as veterans from WWII, Korea and Vietnam era took a trip to Washington D.C. "It's a very emotional experience for them," said Tanya Cayton, organizer. "A lot of tears and appreciation from the men and women who take this flight. You can see how overwhelmed they feel that someone has taken the time to thank them and recognize them for the day.” Rick Rock Director of North Central WV Airport says 'The Honor Flight is the most important event held each year at our airport. To be able to give back to the men in our community who served for our country is a great feeling. The excitement and joy they express upon return of their trip makes you understand how great the event is.'
