On the preceding Wednesday, July 27, some of the team members plan to visit and tour the Aviation Trail Parachute Museum in the Aviation Trail Visitor Center at 16 S. Williams St. in Dayton. Parachute Museum curator Randy Zuercher announced that “This will give us an opportunity to show off our collection and talk shop with one of the very best skydiving teams anywhere. We are excited to have this opportunity to remind the community that Dayton Ohio is where it all started as the home of the first Freefall parachute jump happened here at McCook Field”.


The Aviation Trail Parachute Museum is located on the second floor of the Aviation Trail Visitor Center. The Museum tells the story of the development of the free fall parachute from its invention at Dayton’s McCook Field after World War I, up to the vital role it plays in safely landing today’s spacecraft.
