Re/Max Skydiving Team

A team of three expert skydivers comprise the Re/Max Skydiving Team. They are carried to 5,000 feet in a Cessna C-206 jump plane where they free fall at speeds of over 120 miles per hour maneuvering by using their arms and legs as wings. After about ten seconds of freefall, they open their chutes at 2,500 feet. These modern day parachutes are steerable ram-air canopies designed to provide forward drive and lift much like the wing of an airplane, and each skydiver is always wearing two parachutes, a main and a reserve.

Thanks to Re/Max Jefferson City for sponsoring this performance at the 2024 Show Me State Air Show!

CAF Helldiver (SB2C)

This is the only one still flying today out of 7,140 built and one of only five complete aircraft remaining.
This aircraft first flew into combat in the campaign for Rabaul in November 1943. The Helldiver was Navy carrier based and U.S. Marine island based. It was significantly faster and more potent than the SBD and responsible for more ship tonnage sunk during WWII than any other aircraft.
