The Parachute School

About the School

If you want to fulfill a dream of jumping like our Greatest Generation did, look no further. We operate an active “WWII Experience” parachuting school known as “The Parachute School”, named after the original parachute school at Ft. Benning, GA during WWII. Students participate in a 9-day-long full immersion experience at our vintage WWII facility, Frederick Army Air Field, in Frederick, OK. This training experience culminates in five jumps from one of our two WWII Troop Transports.

The World War II Airborne Demonstration Team holds two parachute schools annually.
