Cadets participating in the Airmanship 490 program walk together after a successful landing, June 14, 2019 at the U.S. Air Force Academy airfield. AM-490, Basic Freefall Parachuting, is a training program where cadets must complete five parachute jumps to earn their jump wings following nearly 40 hours of ground training. It is the only certified program in the world where the student’s very first jump is an unassisted freefall. (U.S. Air Force photo by Trevor Cokley)
