The WWII Airborne Demonstration Team
Airborne Experience
Any member of the general public who wants a totally unique Airborne
encounter can now participate in the team’s “Airborne Experience”
program. Available to all who make a Gold Donation of $250 to the
WWII Airborne Demonstration Team, this “Airborne Experience” will
take you to a new dimension of living history.
Created to let you feel what it was really like, the World War II
Airborne Demonstration Team will wisk you back to 1944 and the
invasion of Fortress Europe. Join the team at Frederick Army
Airfield Headquarters, where you will receive a detailed briefing of
your mission and then spend time familiarizing yourself with the
equipment that was used by US Airborne troops in WWII. Encounter
first hand the type of training and professionalism of our Airborne
forefathers, see parachute packing, and gear up with members of the
team as they show you in great detail what it was like.
Remember and Honor the sacrifices of those brave WWII Airborne
Troopers as you make your way to the team’s WWII C-47 aircraft
“Boogie Baby”, an aircraft that actually took part in the invasion
of Europe in 1944 and climb through the cargo door just like those
brave soldiers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions did in June
1944.
Once aboard, you will take your paratrooper seat while the aircraft
engines roar to life, ready to take you skyward, your senses
overwhelmed with the sight of your fellow paratroopers and the sound
and smell of the powerful Pratt and Whitney radial engines as they
roar down the runway. Then you are Airborne!
Following your orientation flight the drop zone will come into view
and your jumpmaster will take your accompanying team members through
their final jump preparations. Stand up, hook up, check
equipment……..stand in the door…………….Go! Next, it’s your turn. You
follow the same process with one exception. Instead of jumping with
your Airborne Brothers, your stick has been scrubbed, and your
orders are to return to Frederick Army Airfield with the crew of
Boogie Baby. Upon your return, you will attend your debriefing and
the await the return of the team’s jumpers.
So, whether you are somebody who is interested in Airborne history,
a re-enactor, former military or just want the experience of a
lifetime, come and join us at Frederick Army Airfield for this
totally unique experience. If you are interested, complete the
registration form below
and mail it to us enclosing your Gold Donation check to the value of
$250 and you will receive your orders to report to Frederick Army
Airfield, Oklahoma. Also included is a years subscription to "The
