Liberty Jump Team

• Preserving History
• Giving Honor
• Remembering Heroes
  

The Liberty Jump Team is a WWII military exhibition parachute team dedicated to honoring the memory of the men and women of WWII and other foreign conflicts. Our organization performs static line parachute jumps with WWII uniforms and equipment from vintage C-47 Dakota troop transport aircraft. These demonstrations are done at air shows, parades, reunions, and military gatherings of all types.

Most of our members are military veterans and former paratroopers. Some in our ranks are still active military jumpers, and a few jumpers have no military experience at all. But all of our Team members are participating out of a sense of dedication and admiration for the WWII veterans and what they stood for - professionalism, selflessness, and a sense of patriotic duty, both to their country and to each other. It is our privilege and goal to better educate the public and encourage everyone’s interest in the significant role of the airborne soldier during the Second World War.

On the ground, Liberty Jump Team members also engage in public displays, living histories, and speaking events. These displays and speaking engagements are conducted at schools, churches, historical organizations, and many other types of venues including veteran organizations and reunions.

Jumps have been made all over the US, and throughout Europe, including on some of the original Allied drop zones in Normandy, France. Through these efforts, we hope to keep the memory of the ‘Greatest Generation’ alive in the minds and hearts of the public, both here in the United States and throughout Europe.
