Miss Fayetteville North Carolina skydives with the Golden Knights

Today the Golden Knights tandem team had several special guests. Kinsey Boarts, recently crowned Miss Fayetteville, NC, along with Miss Harnett County and soldiers from Ft. Bragg spent time with the Golden Knights today. Kinsey learned what it takes to jump out of an airplane. Personal courage, personal strength and SSG Joe Jones, all helped Kinsey jump form over 2 miles above Laurinburg NC. SSG Jones gave the tandem briefing to 6 eager jumpers. Everyone then geared up in black and gold jumpsuits and got ready for an incredible experience. Kinsey’s day with the Army Golden Knights will be passed on to many as she tells her story about the jump to women all over the City. As Miss Fayetteville she is now a role model to a number of young women in the area. Miss Harnett County also made the 2 1/2 mile jump.

Also coming out to Tandem Jump with the Golden Knights were soldiers from Health Clinics on Fort Bragg.
