A short tour of Airborne School
« on: March 13, 2008, 10:48:06 PM »
<S> all!

For those who are interested, I have a short little picture tour of the US Army Airborne School training facilities.  The School has been in operation since 1940 and has been the primary parachute training ground for the entire military ever since.  All airborne and special operations forces from all branches come through this school.  Currently the school graduates around 1200 students every month!

Enjoy the tour, and please feel free to email or PM me with any questions or comments.

Airborne!

I have been there to watch my son graduate.  Pretty impressive.
