You don't need to fly a plane to wow the crowd at an air show. You can also impress by jumping out of a perfectly good working aircraft.
The US Army's parachute demonstration team, the Golden Knights certainly impressed.
The Knight's Fokker transport at altitude with the door open and ready for paratrooper deployment:
Jumper #1 is out:
Good chute:
And landing dead center of the landing zone for a perfect precision landing.
One was good, so next they decided to double the fun with a tandem jump.
Again a perfect landing right in the center of the landing zone.
Then the rest of the team jumped and did a formation parachute demonstration:
Again, they all landed perfectly in the landing zone in a remarkable display of control and precision.
That was a very impressive display of what a team with nothing more than parachutes, hard training, and a lot of guts can do. A great and thrilling demonstration.
