The Phantom Airborne Brigade will be dropping 165 Paratroopers into Lake Dora off the shores of Wooton Park in downtown Tavares. All jumpers are veteran, military trained, paratroopers getting their “knee in the breeze” once again. The jump is in coordination with 1st Battalion Ranger reunion (Hardrock Charlie Foundation).
Jumpers are from all services and units that are Airborne. The first jump is scheduled at 9:00am and the last jump is scheduled for 12:30pm.
Bring a chair or blanket and come watch from the shoreline at Wooton Park as they soar from the C47 Tico Belle and land in Lake Dora.
After the jump, there will be a Blood Wing ceremony for those having made 5 jumps with Phantom. Then from 2pm - 5pm the Phantom Airborne Brigade will join the Hardrock Charlie Foundation in Wooton Park to support their BBQ Fundraising Bash and live music. All are welcome!
