Flying High with Purpose

The mission of Quad City Back the Blue Flight is to support and Honor Law Enforcement Officers of the Quad Cities area, active and retired by facilitating 1 day round trip flights to Washington, DC. We will also include a family member from a local Officer killed in the line of duty. Some of the sites we will be visiting are the National Police Officers Memorial Wall and museum, honoring our local fallen Officers, The Capital, National Spy Museum, and other historical sites. We will also be educating the public on local Law Enforcement concerns, and a continued support for our Officers and future flights.

Our Mission

Our goal is to transport as many working and retired law enforcement officers to Washington D.C. to visit the national Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Wall as possible. This one day trip will include a chartered flight from the Quad City International Airport, busing to the memorial and many other historical sites, meals, and much more. Most importantly, the law enforcement officers who dedicated their lives to protecting their communities will be honored and able to honor their brothers and sisters who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

How It Works

Who is Eligible

Any current full-time or retired law enforcement officer who worked in the Quad City Metro Area. Current full-time law enforcement officers from the metro area, with their Chief or Sheriff's support, are also eligible.

How Long is the Trip?

Officers will leave in the early morning hours from the Quad City International Airport. All transportation once in Washington D.C. is provided, along with food and drink, and they will return home in the evening hours of that same day.

What is the Cost to travel?

There is no cost to attend. Our organization is a registered 501(C)(3) and happy to accept your donation so others may continue to fly. We are funded purely upon the generosity of our donors and business partners.
