On
January 24th,
2009, the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team completed its 24th Jump School
with 13 more students completing their 5 qualifying jumps from our C-47 to
attain their Golden Basic Parachutist Wings.
Each student completed a
rigorous training course which culminated in them receiving their wings from
WWII veterans who attended the final days events at the team’s Open
House.
Pictures from the Jump
School can be found
here.
To help us fulfill our
mission to honor, remember and serve these WWII veterans, we now, more than ever need the help and generosity of the
public to help sponsor the maintenance, operation, and ownership of both of
these fine aircraft.
More information about both aircraft may be obtained by clicking
here. Information will be
updated as time permits.
