We both retired from Delta airlines, Robin as a flight attendant and Rob as a pilot. And we have been rescuing abandoned and neglected animals at our ranch for over seven years. Five years ago, we decided to take animals to nursing homes and hospitals to cheer up the patients. We started with cats, dogs, parrots, then minature horses and donkeys.Then we decided to get a camel. Robin had read a report several years before about some veterinary students working with a camel as a therapy project in New York. With a bachelor's degree in behavioral science from U.C. Davis, she decided she could train a camel to interact with the sick and elderly.

Honor Flight first flew in May 2005 with six small planes flying twelve WWII veterans, departing from Springfield, Ohio. In 2006, with a rapidly expanding waiting list, the program transitioned to commercial airline carriers to accommodate more veterans. That same year Honor Flight partnered with Honor Air in Hendersonville, North Carolina, and Hero Flight in Provo, Utah, to establish the national “Honor Flight Network” which has expanded aggressively to include cities across the nation. By 2007 official Network hubs had been established in 32 cities, to localize community commitment, operational planning, and fund-raising.
