Parachute Demo in Fryeburg Maine

The USMA Parachute Team conducted another successful demonstration in Fryeburg, Maine. The team had two cows, two firsties and Coach Tom Falzone jump into the opening of the 50th annual Fryeburg Fair. They jumped out of a Cessna 210 into a small landing area in front of a crowd of about 5,000 spectators. The landing area was one of the most challenging the team has faced so far. However, the jumpers were anxious to exercise the skills that they practice daily and test themselves. Despite the difficult conditions, the jumpers landed dead center and reflected the professionalism and focus the team strives for. CDT Klein '20 caught the flag, CDT Perinon '20 provided an excellent narration, SFC McGlynn (NCOIC) and SSG Baker coordinated with the Fair staff and aircraft for a successful performance. The Parachute Team appreciates the support that allowed this demo to take place.
