On this date the PAB conducted a jump refresher training course for paratroopers heading to Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. In addition to the Jump refresher, a brush up on Jump Master skills was provided as was a full day of Rigger training. In all that training, a regular Phantom jump mission was conducted (to kick off the training event) as well as two training jumps for the students. In all, about 60 exits were made this weekend. Nearly every jumper came very close to the target which in some part at least was due to the outstanding weather we were fortunate enough to have.
We also welcomed several guests who stopped by to watch us jump and ask questions. Thanks to those who did and we hope to have you back soon.
And lastly, we celebrated the 450th jump by a long term Phantom Member. Congratulations Rick!
