Yeah, I dunno that I would be game to parachute at all, let alone do it how these men and women perform. I was pretty astounded at their shows at the Great Colorado Air Show a couple weeks ago. Both teams were quite impressive to say the least.

The Wings of Blue, the USAF Parachute Team, arrived with flags for each branch of service (Go Navy!) and Old Glory descended in all its beauty during the singing of the national anthem.

Then, the U.S. Navy Parachute Team “The Leap Frogs” , all special forces operators, performed some pretty amazing stunts including hanging upside down – way to go, shipmates!
