Golden Knights

With more than 460 championships under their belts, the Golden Knights Parachute Team are no strangers to performing precision aerial maneuvers while falling to earth at speeds reaching up to 120 miles per hour. More than 50 years after its start, the team captivates audiences at stadiums, events, air shows and other venues across the country and around the world. The 90 soldiers who make up the Golden Knights have been trained in one of the US Army’s military occupational specialties and serve the team for three years while stationed at Fort Bragg. You can catch a glimpse of the famous routines at practices held Monday through Thursday between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport in Scotland County.
