The Airborne Heritage Platoon!
Always nice to see the Hueys and the Cobras!
Would love to see Cavanaugh's Caribou, the C-123 "Thunder Pig" and the BAHF C-54 join all the C-47's too....
I think you're getting this group mixed up with the Army Airborne Group.
Here is the AHP's website:

The Airborne Heritage Platoon is a parachute demonstration team that specializes in military, static line parachute jumps at air shows, commemorative events and veteran’s reunions. We do this to Honor US Airborne Veterans of all eras. The team consists of experienced static line parachutists, jumpmasters and parachute riggers.
The Airborne Heritage Platoon has partnered with the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) and other organizations that own and operate vintage military aircraft. Together, we help further the mission of keeping these aircraft flying, honoring our Veterans and sharing this unique military history with the public. We specialize in depicting all eras of combat jumps by wearing period appropriate uniforms, equipment and weapons, while using modern U.S. Military round parachutes for all demonstration jumps.
If you are not a qualified military static line parachutist but would still like to participate in the team, feel free to contact us to find out how you may attend one of our jump school trainings.
