WWII Airborne Demonstration Team

    World War II B-25 pilots trained at the Frederick, Oklahoma air field. The hangar they built way back then, in 1941, stands still, with its massive lumber beams holding it steadfast against time. In 1951, the air field became the city's regional airport. 

    The demonstration team trains there. Twice per year, they hold events at the air field to show the abilities of the parachutists, and the impressive aircraft, the C-47, which takes them aloft for their jumps.
