Soldiers from the 82nd Abn Div, and the 18th ABN Corps spent some time in the skies over Laurinburg, NC this week with members of the Golden Knights tandem team. Members os the 173rd Cav recently returned from their mission in Haiti, came out to Tandem Jump with the Golden Knights. Blue Skies held out for most of the week allowing the tandem team to show our passengers what its like to jump out of an airplane and free fall at 120 mph. from 13,500 ft.
