Past Jumps
September 2020 Lake Dora water jump
57 jumpers attended the event, it appeared everyone had a good time. The City of Tavares along with local Law enforcement joined in the fun as they observed from the shore. We want to thank Law Enforcement for shuttling jumpers back to the Leesburg airport and all...

A great mission made even better by having several new Phantom Members join us. Three of which last jumped together 30 years ago! This jump was held in conjunction with the 82nd Infantry Division's 100th Birthday! Later of course it was remade into the famous 82nd...

Not a bad day but some jumps get a bit hairy and this was one for a few of us… The reason we conduct routine training missions is to build skills under canopy and navigation under canopy is perhaps chief among the needed skills. When the go command is given and the...

A decent day for a jump. Winds aloft were a bit high but all jumpers made it safely to the DZ. A long time member made his 275th, and sadly, last jump with us this day. We'll miss having you in the sky with us Pete, but hope you can join us for the after mission...

Veteran's Day jump! A full load of paratroopers dropped onto the DZ today in squirrelly winds aloft. Overall a great day to jump and it was a great to have some new faces with us today. Welcome aboard.

Note: The Phantom Airborne Brigade is under new management as of this date. The PAB returned to Skydive City in Zhills! Due to very low wind conditions we were able to jump from 2000' today. Everyone landed well within easy distance of the target and had some...

Well, maybe we can say the universe seeks balance… with the exceptionally beautiful weather we were blessed with the last two jumps, maybe we were owed a bit of bad weather. In the last three years we've only had to stand down due to weather one other time. I guess...

We were all glad to see that the weather was once again favorable. Jump altitude was just over 2,000 ft which gave an additional bit of hang time to enjoy the magnificent view.

A great mission with all troopers easily hitting the DZ from 1.5 to 2k AGL. And it was great to have leaders from the 82nd Association join us today to watch the drop and participate in the Orlando Area At Large chapter of the 82nd Association meeting and breakfast.

Great drop today from 2k feet… Once the “wind dummies” of the first stick landed, all others easily hit the DZ. 😀 Scrubbed mission due to thick persistent fog… Still grabbed a few pics of paratroopers doing what they do… Hurry Up and...

Some days the wind is crazier than others… all jumpers made it safely to the ground but not necessarily where they should have. Most jumpers will tell you that it’s the challenging jumps that they remember… this one will be talked about for awhile.
