The Chicago Air and Water Show is on this weekend, and featuring the Army’s Golden Knights Parachute Team. I’ve seen the team in Cleveland, OH, and even been in their plane!
FOX Chicago News’ Nancy Loo got to jump with the Army’s Golden Knights Parachute Team, watch the jump above, this is what she wrote in her blog about the jump:
“..we’re falling through the sky at 120 miles per hour! The feeling is pure exhilaration and amazement. I can’t help looking down to take in the clouds and beautiful landscape but the guys keep telling me to look up so they can take a decent picture. Before I know it, we’re going THROUGH a cloud. Unlike going through it on an airplane, you can actually feel the moisture.”
Loo dedicated her jump to www.remind.org , an organization which provides support for injured members of the military. Remind organization was founded by Bob Woodruff, ABC’s news anchor, who got injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2006, and now helps injured soldiers through his organization. He and his wife Lee Woodruff have done amazing job reminding people not just supporting our troops, but to take action.
I think it is so awesome that Nancy Loo dedicated her jump to this cause!
Thanks to Traveling Mom to telling me about this!

My sister in law jumped out of a plane before. No one in Gods Green Earth would I be doing that.
