The Liberty Jump Team is a commemorative parachute team honoring WWII heroes and Veterans of all Wars and Foreign Conflicts. Their jumps commemorate the D-Day invasion and the liberation of Europe as well as perpetuating the service of those who have served after, including today’s brave men and women.
The Liberty Jump team recruits from active and inactive military parachutists with an in-house jump training operations and school located in Bristow, Oklahoma. They use a C-47 as a jump platform and have conducted airborne operations all over the US as well as in Amfreville, Carentan, Liesville Sur Douve, Angoville au Plain France as well jumps commemorating Bastogne and Holland.
