US Army Paratroopers – the “Golden Knights”
July 11, 2012 1 Comment
I was recently at a baseball game in Chicago between the White Sox and the Texas Rangers. The scoreboard showed temperatures reaching 103 degrees so it was a hot one. Braving the heat and carrying all of their gear the “Golden Knights” jumped in to deliver the baseball for the first pitch. I have seen these guys jump before but in a much larger, open-ended stadium, and in much cooler temperatures. So, I was quite impressed with their maneuverability in the air and landing accuracy on the field. Here is a video and some pictures taken with my iPhone. It is hard to see but the dots in the second image are close to a dozen jumpers.
