Update Help Keep Us Flying! Update

1/18/10. We're Airborne!!! We performed test flights today with no problems, and will be dropping parachutists tommorow morning! Thanks to everyone who has been able to donate time or money helping us complete this huge task. However, since we are  only halfway to our goal of $60,000, we still need your generous donations to help get us back in the air.   Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

We are well on our way to meeting this goal due to the following donors.

Thank you all for your generous contributions!!

The team recently was in the Netherlands to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of Operation Market-Garden. Click here for photos.

July 25th, 2009, the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team concluded its 25th Jump School. Ten students completed their 5 qualifying jumps from our C-47.

 Each student completed a rigorous training course and received their golden wings from WWII veterans who were in attendance.

 Pictures from the  Jump School can be found here.

A local news crew has already been out and filed the following report, and this can be viewed 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 our aircraft.
