National Guard - Leapfest Friendship Jump Highlights

Paratroopers from all over the world have come to the University of Rhode Island to take part in the 30th annual Leapfest, hosted by the Rhode Island Army National Guard. The 1st day kicks the event off with a friendship jump. In addition to getting the teams familiar with each other, it gives international teams an opportunity to work with U.S. Jump Masters, aircraft and gear, and to familiarize themselves with the course before the actual competition begins.
