LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- With craned necks, a crowd peers into bare, blue emptiness.
Suddenly a dot appears, followed by several others, and the U.S. Air Force Wings of Blue parachute team comes into focus above the awaiting masses.
The Wings of Blue demonstration parachute team travels across the country to showcase their precise parachuting skills and inspire everyone who sees them.
“We train to be as precise as possible,” said U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet 2nd Class Bobby Sood, 98th Flying Training Squadron demonstration parachutist. “I love seeing the look on people’s faces as I glide to the ground in front of them. Being able to inspire people like we do really keeps me humble.”
Decisively executing jump after jump in front of audiences across the country, the Wings of Blue educates entire crowds in the span of a few minutes on the precision and capabilities of the U.S. Air Force.
