Taking to the Skies with the U SArmy Golden Knights

It's windy. Plan for a longer spot. So build it on the way back if you have to,
all right? Don't get blown out to La La Land. Two minutes.

Go! The Golden Knights were created in 1961. We're the Department of the Army's official
aerial demonstration unit. We perform free-fall parachute jumps, aerial
demonstrations all throughout the country. Let's go! A lot of practice.

A lot of safety measures in place. And not crazy. What we're doing right now is what's called
spotting. We're gonna fly over the target.

And earlier when we dropped those beanies, what we did is we figured out what our drift is going to be. So if our drift is .2 Miles from the target
downwind, then what we're going to do is we're going to fly that same azimuth into the wind
and we're going to pick our exit point to be .2 Miles in front of the target, so then
when we open our parachutes, we'll get blown back to it. Does that make sense? It's windy out there. Cue the music.

As ambassadors to the Army, this team gives
us a really good avenue for the Army to be able to connect with the American public. Stand by. OK. Here we go.

All right, I'm going to give you guys a heads up to what's happening, right now we are seven minutes. Seven minutes and the rest of us are getting out, OK? Fly parachute! Muscle up, bro! Stand by. OK. Ready, set, go.

OK. Ready, set, go..
