I have watched my dad jump for many years and have been extremely proud of him and his accomplishments with Liberty. This past Sunday, he jumped into the IL State fair with an American Flag before a concert dedicated to veterans. My four children were there; two of which saw him jump for the first time. The roar of the crowd was absoutely amazing when he touched down with the flag. The skydivers got a louder round of applause than Lee Greenwood who performed later that evening. My kids are facinated by skydiving and maybe one of them will jump with Liberty someday!

A better, classier or more patriotic aerial act would be nearly impossible to find. As a former member of the United States Style & Accuracy Parachute Team, I have personally witnessed their performances in Wisconsin, Illinois, California and at several midwest rural county fairs. The Liberty Parachute Team is the best.

I have seen the Liberty Parachute Team at several airshows. Every time I see their large flags and their red,white and blue parachutes it fills my heart with pride. I recently was able to see one of their night shows, I still cannot belive what I saw. They lit up the entire sky. I felt like a kid again at a magic show both being amazed and wondering how they did it.

Liberty Parachute Team Changes Hands, continues patriotic tradition. The Liberty Parachute Team is under new ownership after 18 years of cutting edge parachute demonstrations in the airshow industry. New owners, Doug Gipe and Larry Bartlett, vow to continue the basic traditions envisioned by team originator J.T.Hill as well as add several new spectacular acts to the already impressive performance package. The team was started by Hill in 1984 with the idea of offering a highly visual skydiving presentation with a distinctive patriotic flavor. Designing a program that would be captive and entertaining to savvy airshow audiences was challenging both technically and creatively. Bigger, Flashier and Better were the buzz words J.T. focused his energies toward, that tradition continues today. Doug Gipe, a health and safety advisor for a large Omaha based construction firm and Larry Bartlett, chief pilot for Duncan Aviation, headquarters in Lincoln Neb. decided to purchase the assists of the team after Hill expressed his desire to become involved with other projects. The new owners have been long time Liberty Team members, and have helped to build the organization to the respected level it has reached and maintained over the years. Liberty’s innovation in the parachute demonstration arena is the cornerstone of it’s popularity. The first to incorporate “ Mega Glory ”an extremely large American flag as part of it’s opening, as well as the first to utilize the high volume “candy canes of smoke” producing visual effects never before seen. Liberty Team was the leader of night air show performances, displaying brilliant pyrotechnics both in freefall and under canopy. Improvements to volume and intensity over the years keep the “Para-pyro” display an awe inspiring crowd favorite, and the next generation is nearly through it’s testing phase. The Liberty Parachute Team’s extencive performance package offers show coordinators an opportunity to design a custom presentation, specific to their site and audience needs. The team boasts the most expieranced group of performers in the industry, all hold an Expert license as well as the Professional rating, averaging over 25 years and 2500 jumps in skydiving for each of the eight members.
