The U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, have been added to the “Power in the Pines” list of performers for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst’s 2016 open house and air show.
For more than 53 years, members of the U.S. Army Parachute Team have been marking the milestones of achievement and an evolution of excellence serving as “ambassadors” of the Army’s only official demonstration team. The Golden Knights portray the image of being the most formidable parachuting competitors and demonstrators in the world today, according to a press release.
“We are excited to announce that the U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, will perform their aerial demonstration at our open house and air show this May,” said Lt. Col. Pat Rayner, open house and air show director. “Our Army mission partners are a crucial part of the team here at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and showcasing their elite parachute demonstration team is a huge win.”
“Power in the Pines” is free and open to the public and scheduled for May 14-15. Gates will open at 9 a.m. with aerial demonstrations slated for 11 a.m. on both days, according to the press release.
