WWII Airborne Demonstration Team
step in the door and PROVE IT TO YOURSELF!
WWII Airborne Demonstration Team is more than a place to learn to jump!
It is a chance to test yourself – physically, mentally, and personally – while stepping into the legacy of the airborne soldiers of World War II.
Named in honor of the original WWII Parachute School at Fort Benning, our nine-day course immerses you in the history, discipline, and traditions of the airborne. Training takes place in our historic 1942 hangar at the former Frederick Army Air Field in Frederick, Oklahoma, where you will learn the fundamentals of airborne operations the way they were once taught.
Your training culminates with five qualifying static-line jumps from one of our WWII veteran aircraft – our Douglas C-47 Boogie Baby or C-49 Wild Kat. Standing in the door of these 'Skytrains', you'll experience what thousands of airborne soldiers once did and face the same moment every jumper remembers: the decision to step out and go.
But The Parachute School is not only about earning your wings. It is also how we build the future of the Team. Each class strengthens the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team by developing the next generation of jumpers, riggers, jumpmasters, cadre, and leaders. Graduates help keep our show jumpers current, capable, and ready to represent the Team at airshows and events across the country as we honor the legacy of the WWII airborne.
Some come to challenge themselves.
Some come to honor our veterans.
Some come simply to experience living history in a way few people ever will.
Wherever your path leads, if you meet the standard, there is a place for you here.
Join us, step into the door, and prove it to yourself.
