What about the other 2 demo teams?
Like when all of 'em jumped for the 555 monument dedication at the ASOM?

Looks like it will be a cool time!

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

This was put together by folks at "the big building", you'll have to find and ask "them".

As for the "other 2", there are WAY more than that many out there!

Come on out though if you are in town.

Of the Army's Teams I only know of Two more: the "Silver Wings" and "Screaming Eagles".

I wish I could but I just got back in from being on the road nine days and am looking forward to jumping the new Ch-47F a few times this week.

Ft. Benning held its Airborne appreciation jump last week, it god a good reception so I am sure your will get a great one too!
